Made full and frank admission to police
JAMES McPhee owned up immediately he was tackled by staff in a Wick pub who suspected him of having drugs in his possession.
McPhee, a 21-year-old electrician handed the 0.4 of a gram of cocaine over and went straight to the police station where he made “a full and frank admission”.
The accused pleaded guilty, at Wick Sheriff Court yesterday, to possessing the Class A drug in Harper’s Bar, on September 29 and was fined £400.
Solicitor Neil Wilson said it had been “a one-off, stupid mistake” of which the accused, a first offender, of 16 Glamis
Road, Wick, was “thoroughly ashamed”.
