Scotland: Drug dealer must help combat abuse
Shetland News Thursday 09 Nov 2006 A YOUNG Shetland man has been told to help start a campaign to discourage drug taking in the islands if he wants to hold on to his chances of travelling to the USA. Lyall Balfour Campbell, of Stakkafletts, Fetlar, admitted supplying cannabis in Lerwick's Law Lane, last February, when he appeared at the town's sheriff court in May. At the time Sheriff Graeme Napier told him to draw up an anti-drugs message for the islands' youth to help curb their enthusiasm for illicit substances. Yesterday the sheriff told the 24 year old that an essay he had written for the court promoting "zero tolerance" for drug taking was not enough. "If I am to be persuaded that I am to even contemplate that you don't end up with a record that will prevent you from going to America you will have to do a little bit more," Sheriff Napier said. He deferred sentence until February so Campbell could liaise with the Shetland Youth Information Service and "produce some ideas as to how you can assist them to get the message across" that illegal drugs should be avoided. http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/ -- WebBooks Amazing Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/webbooks05
