A man who claimed he was using marijuana for four decades had no drug convictions before being busted trafficking drugs.
Gregory Robert Hixon, 57, pleaded guilty in on March 22 in Rockhampton District Court to one count of trafficking marijuana and nine of supplying a dangerous drug.
Crown prosecutor Matthew Sutton said Hixon was detected during the Queensland Police Service Operation Romeo Justice which targeted the sale and distribution of marijuana and methamphetamines in the Rockhampton area.
He said Hixon trafficked marijuana between May 14, 2019 and July 10, 2019 and was primarily a street level dealer, supplying small amounts with some wholesale amounts detected.
