Anthony Tobey was charged as a result of an incident on September 14 of last year, in which he broke into Arc Industries in Midland, and stole $19.00-in cash and stamps from a cash box kept in a desk drawer. The court was told Tobey broke into the building by knocking in a piece of wood which covered a window. Provincial Judge Len Montgomery told Tobey if he did not shape up his life, he would spend most of it behind bars. He said it costs about $15,000 to keep someone in jail for a year, and that was a great expense to the taxpayers. But, he said, if Tobey wanted to spend his life in jail, the courts would accommodate him. Montgomery ordered that Tobey be put on probation for 24 months after the jail sentence was served. Theft under $200 The theft of a pair of boots from Zellers last fall resulted in a con- ditional discharge and 15 months probation for a 23- year-old Midland man in provincial court Thur- sday. Herbert Boyer pleaded guilty to the charge in an earlier court appearance, but was remanded to Thursday for sentencing. The court was told Boyer had enough money in his pocket to pay for the merchandise at the time of the theft, and he had a Zellers charge account. Boyer could not explain why he had been moved to steal the boots. Possession of marijuana A 26-year-old Midland woman who _inad- vertantly gave herself away to police pleaded guilty in court Thursday to a charge of possession of marijuana.

When she opened her purse to get her driver's license, the officer noticed a plastic bag containing "a green plant-like substance " in the purse. Reid waived her right to have the substance analyzed, and admitted it was indeed marijuana.
