Sniffer dog caught festival fan                     27/6/14

A police sniffer dog caught drugs on a festival fan, Lochmaddy Sheriff Court heard this week.

Danile Maclean of 360 Kings Acre Road, Rutherglen, Glasgow, pleaded guilty by letter.

The 31-year-old admitted possessing ecstasy at the Barra Music Festival on Tangasdale beach in July last year.

Procurator fiscal David Teale told the court that a police sniffer dog was going round the crowd and detected the drug on him.

Sheriff Noel McPartlin fined Maclean £200 - discounted from £300 for making an early plea - and gave him two months to pay.
