A Yeovil man who is alleged to have grown cannabis plants has been ordered to appear before Somerset Magistrates after he is released from prison.

Serving prisoner Darren Andrew Ellis was due to appear in court at Yeovil charged with the production of five cannabis plants in the town on June 24.

However the court was told that he was currently in custody after being sentenced for other matters and had not been produced before the Bench.

They agreed to adjourn the case until August 22, one week after he is due to be released from prison, and is expected to enter his plea on this allegation.
