A young Letterkenny man has been fined \u20ac400 after being caught with cocaine in a Letterkenny hotel. <\/p>\n
Felix Connors appeared before Letterkenny District Court charged with two drugs offences.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old, with an address at Canal Road in Letterkenny, was represented by solicitor Michael Shiel.<\/p>\n
Garda Sergeant Jim Collins outlined the details of both cases to the court.<\/p>\n
He told how on October 28th, 2024, at 1.30am, Gardai noticed two males acting suspiciously outside the Glencar Inn in Letterkenny.<\/p>\n
One ran away and the second was located and found to have a white powder substance in his possession. The substance was cocaine and had a street value of \u20ac5.<\/p>\n
The court was also told that on November 4th, 2024 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Letterkenny, Gardai called to a room and spoke to Felix Connors.<\/p>\n
A search was carried out and Connors was found in possession of cocaine valued at \u20ac70.<\/p>\n
The court was told he was fully cooperative when interviewed.<\/p>\n
Sergeant Collins said the accused has similar previous convictions for drugs offences and also for public order.<\/p>\n
Solicitor for Connors, Mr Michael Shiel, said his client was not working, lived at home with his parents but did help out keeping horses.<\/p>\n
He said his client had pleaded guilty to both offences but said he was not on a waiting list to receive drug counselling.<\/p>\n
Mr Shiel added that his client had pleaded to the charges and said that both were not major amounts of drugs.<\/p>\n
Judge Emile Daly said she was going to convict on the second offence and fined Connors \u20ac400 and took the first charge into consideration.<\/p>\n
