A MAN found in possession of cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamine had "stocked up" for a three day stag weekend.

Blackburn magistrates heard that Darren Peter Jackson was arrested after police responded to a report of two men using drugs in the toilets of the Dog Inn in Whalley.

Jackson, 30, of Marine Road West, Morecambe, pleaded guilty to possession of all four drugs. He was fined a total of £500 and ordered to pay £65 costs.

Kevin Preston, defending, said his client was a man of previous god character who had never even been cautioned by the police.

"He was found in possession of quite an array of drugs but they were all small quantities," said Mr Preston. "It was the beginning of a stag weekend which was going to last for three days and that was why he had stocked up."
