Drugg'd

A man appearing in court asked security staff to look after his cannabis stash while he appeared before magistrates.

Before going into court Stephen West , 20, of Wigan, Lancashire, showed them a lump of cannabis at the town's magistrates' court.

When told he could not take the drug into court, he even signed a receipt to say it was his.

West, was accused of breaching licence conditions. That case was adjourned.

But he was arrested, charged with possession of cannabis and bailed to appear at court.

West pleaded guilty, was fined £50 and ordered to pay £43 costs.
