Five people charged with drug possession during the police presence surrounding the Psyfari festival in the Glen Alice area in late August, had their matters before the last sitting of Rylstone Local Court.
Otto Heutling, aged 42, of Park Street, Sydenham, was fined a total of $700 for two charges of ‘Possess prohibited drug’. He also received a conviction with no other penalty recorded for the charge ‘Possess equipment for administration of prohibited drugs’.
At about 1.30am on Friday, August 26, 2016, Heutling was stopped by police in Glen Alice in order to conduct a random breath test.
Although the test was negative for alcohol police noted that he appeared to be nervous and he admitted to prior drug offences, so the decision was made to search the vehicle.
They found a bong fashioned from a plastic bottle.
Heutling admitted that there was cannabis wrapped up in a pair of socks which was found to be 3g in weight.
Police checked another pair of socks and found a tablet of MDMA and a tablet of LSD.
The other four people listed in Rylstone Court for matters relating to police operation focused on the Psyfari festival had their charges transferred.
- A 23-year-old St Ives man, charged with possession of MDMA, cannabis, and a bong, was adjourned to Manly Local Court.
- A 22-year-old Ryde man, charged with possession of MDMA, LSD, and cannabis, was also adjourned to Manly Local Court.
- A 25-year-old Rosebury man, charged with possession of cannabis, was adjourned to the Downing Centre Local Court.
- A 20-year-old Cromer man, charged with possession of cannabis, cocaine, and MDMA, was adjourned to Lithgow Local Court.
