He also admitted that on November 22, 2019 at his home address, he produced cannabis contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. He admitted committing all three offences while on bail.
The Procurator Fiscal depute told the court: “The accused was stopped in the street and a search was carried out by officers who found a bag of green herbal matter, a grinder, clear bags and scales. He was also found to be carrying an offensive weapon, a baton. These were all in his possession.
"Officers then executed a search warrant for his property where the plants were seized.”
