Court

Martin Kelly, Park Road, Portadown, admitted unlawful possession of a class B drug, cannabis, on September 14 last year.

He was fined £150 and also ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy.

The court heard that on September 10 last year police searched premises which were linked to the defendant.

On September 14 Kelly proffered a small amount of cannabis to police which they had missed when they had been at the premises on a previous occasion.

Mr Conor Downey, representing the defendant, said it was a small amount of cannabis and Kelly had previous convictions.

District Judge, Mr Peter King, said there were slightly unusual circumstances in that Kelly assisted greatly in his own prosecution.
