Maghera man found with drugs in car after police smell cannabis
Kyle Simon Marshall (19), of Mullagh Road, Maghera, admitted two counts of possessing class ‘B’ drugs at Oldtown Road, Castledawson, on May 23 last year.
A PPS lawyer said police stopped a car at the Oldtown Road carpark at 1.20pm and spoke to Marshall, who was accompanied by another person. He said officers detected a strong smell of cannabis in the vehicle and this resulted in a search being carried out during which the bag with the powder substance was found.
