Things did not turn out very festive for a man caught with firecrackers.
The accused, Donald Guthrie, appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday to answer to a charge of possession of unaccustomed goods.
The court was told that Guthrie was apprehended and searched by the police and the contraband found. He was arrested and charged.
Guthrie was fined $5,000 or 30 days in jail.
