NASSAU- A newlywed couple spent part of their honeymoon in a cell after they were arrested for ganja possession.
Police were patrolling Cabbage Beach with a drug sniffing dog when the K-9 officer sat next to the couple.
The officers removed a marijuana spliff from Joseph Kurayev’s hand. They found five more spliffs in a cigarette box in a blue bag owned by Lily Fades.
During a police interview, the New York couple admitted to buying the drugs from a man on the beach. They said they didn’t know having marijuana was illegal here.
They pleaded guilty to drug possession at their arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
She fined them each $175 or one month in prison.
