Iconic rock band AC/DC’s drummer Phil Rudd has been convicted by a New Zealand court after being caught with 25 grams of cannabis back in October. His boat was raided by the police at the Taurangana Bridge Marina in North Island where the controlled substance was found with the Australian rock star.
He pleaded guilty to the charge but his lawyers requested the court to discharge Rudd sans conviction in order to avoid jeopardizing the drummer’s career and international tour commitments. The magistrate refused the request and ordered him to pay a fine of $186 along with a $99 court fees.
