Description
The defendant, Michael DuMontelle, pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of cannabis, in violation of the Cannabis Control Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 56 1/2, par. 704(c)) (hereinafter cited as the Act). The circuit court of Kankakee County placed him on probation as provided in section 10 of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 56 1/2, par. 710). The court also fined the defendant $65 and assessed court costs against him in the amount of $25. The defendant appealed, arguing that section 10 of the Act does not authorize the imposition of a fine or the assessment of court costs. The appellate court affirmed with one justice dissenting. (49 Ill. App.3d 187.) We granted leave to appeal.
