2020 marijuana arrest

Police searched Sasono's house and found 16 grams of marijuana in a cabinet. Police said he tested positive to marijuana. Sasono on 1 June said he was a "victim" because he was only an addicted user and not a dealer.
Sasono told police he used marijuana to fill in time and overcome insomnia while self-isolating at his home during the coronavirus pandemic. His legal team requested he be allowed to undergo rehabilitation, rather than be put on trial for illegal drug possession and consumption.
