A young Dungannon factory worker spotted stuffing a sock full of cocaine in the pocket of a car seat, has been ordered to carry out 80 hours of Community Service.
Ceasar Dafe, aged 20, from Lambfield Drive, admitted possessing the Class A drug on March 12.
Prosecuting counsel told Dungannon Magistrates Court that police were on mobile patrol when they observed a number of males beside a parked vehicle at The Junction building.
The lawyer said the defendant was a rear seat passenger and police noticed him stuffing a sock into the rear pocket of the car.
A search of the vehicle uncovered the sock that contained a white substance which subsequent tests showed was cocaine.
Counsel added that Dafe admitted having the cocaine, weighing 24.03 grams, for personal use but not for supplying.
A defence lawyer said he made a full admission during interview.
He added that Dafe had a good work ethic and worked in a local factory.
