A Ballinamallard man has been fined after he was found with drugs after a police search.
Dwayne Taylor (28) of Drumbulcan Road, Sidaire in Ballinamallard was charged with possession of a Class B controlled drug when he appeared before Enniskillen Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
He appeared in the court via video link from Maghaberry Prison where he is currently in custody on unrelated charges.
The court heard that at 8pm on April 13th, police stopped a vehicle being driven by the defendant in Ballinamallard as he was on his way home. Officers noted his nervous disposition which aroused suspicion.
They conducted a search during which they uncovered a bag of herbal cannabis and cannabis resin, valued at a total of £20. The court was told that Taylor had made full admissions during police interviews and entered a guilty plea at the earliest opportunity.
Taylor was fined £250 for the offence and released from custody penning further charges for which he was ordered to sign on once a week at Coleraine Police Station and to reside at an address in Ballymoney.
