A man has appeared at Derry Magistrates Court charged with possession of pregabalin tablets.

Jason Cooke (29) of Dunvale Close in Derry was arrested on January 27 this year after police attended an unrelated matter at a residential address and found a bag of pregabalin tablets in Cooke's possession.

Defence Barrister Stephen Chapman said that Cooke and his partner had moved to Belfast, adding that he had obtained a referral to drugs and alcohol services since his arrest.

District Judge Ted McGill told Cooke that this was his 'absolute last chance', giving him an eighteen month probation order.
