Sharmaarke was found guilty of possessing cannabis and offering to supply the drugs last month, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
He was given a one-year community punishment order and ordered to do 40 hours of community service following the conviction.

The Asbo was imposed on 2 November and banned the teenager from Buck Street in Camden, less than half a mile from where he was shot.
Sharmaarke broke the Asbo the day after receiving it.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of his death as a gunshot wound to the head.
