Man who grew cannabis is jailed
A MAN found to be growing cannabis has been jailed for 12 months.
Stephen Kerslake admitted growing the Class B drug, with a street value of £14,000, at Plymouth Crown Court on January 7.
When the discovery was made, Kerslake, of Kneele Gardens, Manadon, was on bail for two other matters.
The 41-year-old had previously been found with 13 cannabis plants when police came to his house in September 2011.

The Judge, Recorder Fuller, took into consideration evidence in a pre-sentencing report which showed that Kerslake had debts of £10,000.
Recorder Fuller said: "The aggravating features of this case are your previous conviction and that the set up you had was well organised and sophisticated. With the quantity found and his financial state you were growing for your own consumption but with the intent to supply to other people."

“And when you do get caught, blame the missus. Lib Dems do it all the time :-)”

“Take a leaf out of our MPs book. Don't worry about the crime; just don't get caught. Seems to work for them.”

“He's a pretty rubbish criminal to get caught twice, then grow huge amounts of cannabis in his own house thinking he'd not get caught. The police were obviously watching you, silly boy.”
