Shannon Patrick Maguire, 33, of Kite Street, was stopped while driving along Hill Street at 2.30am on March 8.
Police saw a "water pipe" in the front foot well and the location Maguire said he was travelling to was known for drug activity.
He was searched and police found cannabis wrapped in foil inside a cigarette packet.
The cannabis weighed 1.12 grams and Maguire described it as "less than a tenner".
He did not appear in court where he was fined $220.
