Protest up in smoke
A PRO-MARIJUANA activist has been found guilty of breaking into Clare Martin’s electorate office.
Gary Meyerhoff of the Network Against Prohibition was yesterday found guilty by a Supreme Court jury of unlawfully entering business premises and causing damage.
Meyerhoff was charged after a group of NAP activists entered Ms Martin’s electoral office to protest against the NT Government’s “drug house” laws in August, 2002.
The jury found Meyerhoff guilty of the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years’ jail.
The case was adjourned until today for sentencing submissions and sentencing.
