Court is told man was found unconscious 'outside Fairhill shopping centre'

A court was told a man was found unconscious "outside the Fairhill Shopping Centre" in Ballymena.

A prosecutor said the man's identity could not be ascertained and police then found he was in possession of diazepam without a prescription.

Geoffrey Dunlop (30), of Lanntara in Ballymena, appeared at the town's Magistrates Court for sentencing on a charge of possession of a Class C controlled drug.

A defence solicitor said the incident had been a "big wake-up call". The defendant was put on Probation for a year.
