Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The sentencing account says the fine was imposed on Wednesday and was published on 4 October 2018; 3 October is inferred as the sentence date.
The October account’s $19,000 combined total includes fines from Donovan and Cassini Skelton’s separate December 2016 vessel case; only the $6,000 fine explicitly attributed to Donovan’s June 2017 charge is counted here.
The October account says Donovan had six months to pay both fines totalling $12,500 or serve 12 months in prison; no opened source confirms payment or service, and the conditional term applies to combined fines rather than solely to the June charge.
Potter’s separate arrest near Sappy’s Bar is reported, but no later court outcome for his case was found.
No cannabis weight or value was reported for Potter’s separate operation; the 20.3 grams applies only to Donovan’s case.
Only BVI News accounts were found; no independent outlet or accessible official police statement was opened.
No image was established as showing either arrest operation, so no event media is included.
