Dancehall artiste Mavado was fined $100 or ten days for possession of ganja when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday.
The artiste whose correct name is David Brooks was fined after pleading guilty to possession of a 'spliff '.
But following the guilty plea, Brooks' record was tarnished as the offence was placed on his record despite pleas by his attorney for Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey not to do so.
Brooks was arrested on Thursday, January 18, by officers from the Constant Spring Police Station.
According to the police, officers were in the Cassava Piece area at about 10:30 p.m., when they saw the deejay and requested a search. A small, transparent parcel containing marijuana was found on the deejay's person and he was arrested and charged
