A man found in possession of ecstasy, cannabis and LSD, has been jailed for six months and fined €468 after he admitted to police that he used the drugs.

Simon Deguara, 31, of Naxxar was arrested after the police followed a tip-off and searched his Ford Fiesta in August 2005. They found a bag of ecstasy pills, three portions of the drug LSD and some small pieces of cannabis resin.

Magistrate Lawrence Quintano found him guilty based on testimony of police officers who took part in the search and that of Mark Anthony Morales, who said he had bought cannabis from the accused.

The magistrate said that he found the possession of LSD and the sale of cannabis most worrying and jailed him.

Police Inspector Dennis Theuma prosecuted.
