A Polish man was yesterday conditionally discharged for eight months after he was caught red-handed rolling a joint in the toilets of a Sliema bar.
Mikolaj Bartlomiej, 22, was caught preparing the drug during a surprise police inspection at Preston Bar. Appearing before Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit, he pleaded guilty to being in possession of five pieces of cannabis resin.
He was found sitting on the floor in the bathroom rolling a joint early on Saturday morning.
Police Inspector Jason Sultana prosecuted.
Lawyer Mark Busuttil was defence counsel.
