Student with bulk-buy cannabis evicted from hall of residence
The Press and Journal
Tuesday 26 Feb 2002 A STUDENT was thrown out of his hail of residence after police and security guards found a 465 pound block of cannabis resin hidden under his bed. Stirling Sheriff Court was told that guards at Stirling University raided the room of second year undergraduate Douglas Cullens after receiving complaints about a noisy party. Fiscal depute Joe Cahill said they found the room packed and the air thick with smoke. They alerted police who searched the room, found the cannabis, and arrested Cullens. Yesterday, Cullens, 18, now of Ochil Road, Alva, Clackmannanshire, pleaded guilty to possessing the controlled drug in his former room in Geddes Hall, Stirling University, on October 23 last year. His plea of not guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis was accepted. Defence agent Alistair Ross said Cullens had been offered the cannabis at an advantageous price on the condition he bought in bulk. He said: "Having just received his student loan, he succumbed to temptation to buy a fairly sizeable amount to last him to the end of term." He said Cullens' arrest and detention by Central Scotland Police drugs squad had given him a considerable fright and, as a result of the offence, he had been asked to leave the university halls. Sheriff Ray Small fined Cullens, a first offender, 150 pounds.
