Twenty-eight-year-old labourer Michael Ennis, of Manning's Hill district in Manchester, has been charged with smoking ganja in a public place following an incident in May Pen, Clarendon on Monday.

The Corporate Communications Unit of the Jamaica Constabulary Force says police personnel were conducting foot patrol along Main Street in the town when Ennis was observed with a spliff in his mouth and smoke coming from his nostrils.

He was approached by the police and informed of the offence.

They then escorted Ennis to the station where he was charged.

A court date for him is being finalised.
