Nathan John Powell was in court for unexpected debate about his manliness ..
A man in court over supplying cannabis found himself being judged for more than his crimes.
Nathan John Powell, from Wrexham , was in court after being discovered with cannabis stuffed into his underpants, as well as a batch of pills.
He had been arrested for possession of the tablets, but faced no charges after they were found to be used for weight training.
But Powell's physique left Judge Niclas Parry less than impressed.
When defence barrister Oliver King told the Judge at Mold Crown Court that Powell, 24, was using the tablets to improve his "slight" build.
Judge Parry said: "He has not taken many ..."
As Powell looked stood shame-faced in the dock, Mr King completed the judge's sentence, adding "... or they don't work, but that is what he was using them for."
Powell, a car valeter from Maes Hyfryd, already had a suspended sentence hanging over him for being caught with cannabis with intent to supply in 2015.
But when he was arrested again in October last year he had the drug stuffed in his underpants.
Mr King said that his client did have a cannabis problem which he would like to “kick”.
He was receiving help from his GP to try and wean himself off the drug, and was a hard-working young man.
Judge Parry said that Powell had been given “a remarkable chance” of the suspended sentence for being concerned in the supply of drugs.
He had previously breached the suspended sentence and had been fined.
Now he had offended again by the personal possession of drugs.
But he had pleaded guilty, he had completed all the unpaid hours as part of the suspended sentence, and he was a hard working young man.
He also bore in mind that the latest offence was for possession only.
Powell was fined £350, ordered to carry out an additional 60 hours with costs of £125.
The defendant had entered the dock with a bag and the judge told him: “If you breach it again that bag will be needed.”
