Drugs discovered at Wick man's home
A 28-year-old Wick man was fined £200 at the town’s Justice of the Peace Court, yesterday, after he admitted two drugs offences.
James Ross, of Cairndhuna Terrace, Wick co-operated fully with police officers after they discovered the Class B drugs, cannabis resin and cathinone at a house in the town’s Dunnet Avenue, April 26.
The drugs amounted to just over seven gms in total.
Ross pleaded guilty by letter and admitted a previous record.
Argument leads to court appearance
AN early-morning argument with two girls led to Mervyn Ahmed being arrested.
The 29-year-old admitted a breach of the peace, and a previous record. The incident took place as people were leaving licensed premises at The Shore, Wick, on December 27.
Ahmed, of Burn Street, Wick, ended up struggling with the pair, whom he termed to police, as being “no angels themselves”.
Solicitor Neil Wilson described the behaviour as “drunken nonsense”. Sentence was deferred for six months to allow the accused to demonstrate he can behave himself.
