The court heard that on March 29 this year at approximately 8pm police received a report of a collapsed male in Union Street, Lurgan.

Magwood told them in was out on bail and was in breach of his conditions by being intoxicated in public.

At the police station a small quantity of cannabis resin was found in a tin in his left trouser pocket. He said it was worth £20.

Mr Pat Vernon, representing the defendant, said somebody was worried about Magwood lying there and told police.

He added that Magwood could not remember anything about this and police brought him to hospital where he stayed in ICU for several days because he was in such a state.
