Cullybackey man acting 'erratically' on Translink train between Coleraine and Belfast was in possession of pregabalin and diazepam
A passenger acting "erratically" on a train approached police who were patrolling a carriage and then officers found he was in possession of drugs, a court has heard.
Bailie McDowell (28), of Spence Crescent, Cullybackey, had Class C drugs on November 7 last year.
He appeared at Ballymena Magistrates' Court on Thursday via video link from prison where he is a serving prisoner with a release date of next summer.
A prosecutor said police conducted a foot patrol on a train travelling between Coleraine and Belfast and "they were approached by the defendant who was acting erratically onboard and there was a search conducted".
The court was told nine pregabalin and three diazepam tablets were located.
The defendant told the court the diazepam were prescribed but said he did not have a prescription for pregabalin.
He was given a one-month jail term to be served concurrently with his current sentence.
