Scotland: Reefer man must turn drug advisor

Shetland News

Thursday 11 May 2006

---
A SHERIFF has told a young musician from Shetland that he must think up
ways of steering young people off drugs, after he admitted giving a
teenage friend a cannabis reefer at Lerwick Sheriff Court yesterday
(Wednesday).

Lyall Balfour Campbell, aged 24, of Stakkafletts, Fetlar, was arrested
in Law Lane, Lerwick, last February after police were tipped off that a
group of youngsters were preparing a reefer.

Procurator fiscal Duncan Mackenzie said the finger was pointed at
Campbell as being the source of the drugs, but the amount of cannabis in
the reefer was "ridiculously small".

Sheriff Graeme Napier deferred sentence on Campbell, telling him to
return to court in six months with some ideas on preventing drug abuse
in young people.

Sheriff Napier said: "I would like some suggestions as to how the
implications of being involved in the misuse of drugs can properly be
communicated to young people in Shetland."

He suggested Campbell liaise with local youth groups, drug agencies and
the council's social work department to help him with his task.
