Ammo, cannabis charges dismissed against Norton St woman

A city Magistrate yesterday dismissed charges of possession of ammunition and cannabis against a woman, who had been charged alongside her son, in May, after the prosecution failed to produce the file.

Gail Joe, and her son, Kevin Amos, were jointly charged with being in possession of a .32 round of ammunition and 3.5 grammes of cannabis, on May 16, at Lot 43 Norton Street.

Amos pleaded guilty to the offences on May 19 and was sentenced to two years, and fined $15,000 for the ammunition possession, and $3,000 on the narcotics charge.
