Co Antrim: prison warning for man caught with cocaine on July 12
A man was caught with cocaine on July 12.
Cameron Cochrane-Watson (21), of Belfast Road in Antrim town, had the offence detected last year.
Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, was told police were called to an ongoing incident at an address in Antrim and the defendant "made off".
He was detained a short distance away and was arrested.
He had been "out drinking all day" and when taken to custody "a small bag of white powder was located in a rear pocket of his shorts".
On October 11 last year he was detected with a small amount of cannabis. The defendant had a record.
District Judge Nigel Broderick told the defendant: "You need to stop using illegal drugs. If you don't stop you will end up going to prison."
The defendant was put on Probation for a year with a condition that he engages in a treatment programme.
