Four years in jail for Albouystown man who sold marijuana to maintain three daughters

An Albouystown man, who was recently nabbed with close to half a pound of marijuana stashed in his home, was sentenced to 4 years in prison today after pleading guilty to the offence of marijuana trafficking. 

34-years-old, Kevin Clark entered the guilty plea during his first appearance in Court.

The Court was told that on the June 14, at King Edward Street, Albouystown, the man was found with the marijuana in his possession for the purpose of trafficking. 

Police investigators went to the home of the man and found only his step-daughter at home.

However, a search was carried out and the marijuana was found stashed in a book bag.

The young woman told investigators that she had nothing to do with the illegal item and that it belonged to her stepdad.

The man told the court that he would usually sell marijuana to support his three daughters.

He offered an apology to the Court as he made the case for being a good father, while admitting that that the only thing he could have done to get money for them, was to sell marijuana. 

The man was sentenced to four years in jail and fined $30,000 after his guilty pea.
