A 49-year-old Englishman ended up in court yesterday after being caught with a single ecstasy pill at a party in the limits of Rabat on Saturday evening.
Stephen Hutchins, from Durham, admitted to simple possession of the drug and was conditionally discharged for a year in an arraignment which was over in minutes.
Police Inspector Victor Aquilina told Magistrate Anthony Vella that Mr Hutchins had fully cooperated with the police in their investigations.
