A “PARTY LIFESTYLE” Rosyth teenager was caught with 100 Ecstasy tablets worth £1,000 at a Dunfermline High Street pub.

Rhys Manusclark Bonner, of 30 Webster Place, admitted that on October 3 last year at the Guildhall and Linen Exchange and his address, he was concerned in the supply of Ecstasy, a controlled Class A drug.

Fiscal depute Gary McMullan told Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday: “Police had attended the Guildhall and Linen Exchange. 

“Officers had reason to carry out a search of the accused under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act and discovered a bag containing 100 Ecstasy tablets folded within a jumper in the possession of the accused.”

Bonner, 19, was detained and taken to Dunfermline Police Station. Police estimated the drugs to be worth £1,000.

However, solicitor Stephen Morrison disputed the value, claiming it was £350. He added: “I don't know anyone who would pay £10 a tablet but that's not my arena.”

Mr Morrison said the stash had been a “social supply” – it had been Bonner's turn to purchase the drugs for himself and four friends, who had each contributed £70 to buy 100 tablets at one go.

The solicitor added that Bonner was a first offender and came from a “supportive family” but that at the time of the offence his personality had changed due to “abusing one drug or another”.

He explained: “He had fallen into this pattern of behaviour, which was a party lifestyle from Thursday to Sunday, followed by isolation in his room the rest of the week until it was party time again.”

Mr Morrison said Bonner had “ceased all drug misuse” and was “back to a much nicer personality” and now hoped to join the army.

Sheriff Craig McSherry imposed a community payback order of 100 hours' unpaid work, to be completed within six months.
