A Sylvan Lake man was fined $1,150 for drug possession in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday.
Eddie Daniel Rogers, 34, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing and instead pleaded guilty to the charge.
The charge stems from an arrest by Sylvan Lake RCMP on Aug. 24, 2012.
Police reported at the time that a driver was pulled over on Lakeshore Drive for speeding and they found a large quantity of Percocet pills, also known as oxycodone.
Rogers was originally charged with possession of drugs for trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.
