Man forgot he had cannabis

Douglas Courthouse

A 20 year old man has been given a 14 day jail sentence for possessing cannabis.

Oliver James Hamon, care of the prison, had a small amount of the drug on him when he was arrested in August.

His advocate told the court that Hamon admitted the cannabis was his, and that he'd forgotten he had it.

The sentence will run consecutively to a term already being served for unrelated offences.
