A man has been sentenced at Derry Magistrates' Court for a number of drug offences.
Kevin Booth (34) of Old School Lane in Derry was charged with, between November and December 2022, being in possession of and being concerned in the supply of class B drugs after police searched his property on December 13, 2022.
During the search, police found three mobile phones, class B drugs and a small, unmarked medicine bottle containing pills that were later determined to be other class B drugs.
During interview, Booth answered no comment to most questions but admitted to possession of some of the drugs.
Defence Barrister Sinead Rogan said that the messages found on the phones seized by police showed 'a group of friends dealing between each other'.
She added that he had pleaded guilty and that he is now completely drug free.
He was sentenced to three months in custody, suspended for 18 months.
