A man who was busted dealing marijuana to his friends was just one of the Rose City residents who faced court for drug offences this week.
The Warwick Magistrates Court heard police raided a Dragon St house on November 18 last year, where they found 6.5g of marijuana, a set of scales, and a bong belonging to
Daniel Wayne Barnes.
A search of the 40-year-old’s text and Facebook messages revealed he agreed to supply a small group of friends with marijuana between July 17, 2020 and the November raid.
Police prosecutor Steve de Lissa said Barnes’ dealings were never commercial and in small amounts worth $50-$100, with profits used to continue his own drug habit.
