He pleaded guilty to possessing the Class B drug Cannabis on August 26 last year.
The court heard McConville was stopped while riding a bicycle in Thomas Street, Portadown.
“He appeared to be avoiding police and was evasive,” said the Prosecutor adding police found approximately 15 grams of Cannabis during a search of the defendant.
"Full admissions were made during interview and he was very candid with police,” said the Prosecutor.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan said he had read a Pre-Sentence Report for McConville.
He fined McConville £300. That was dealt with by an immediate warrant of seven days in prison as McConville is already in jail on remand.
