SPACED out Christopher Cox took so many drugs that he even had some on him when he went to a police station to answer to bail, a court heard.

Cox, left with one eye after a bad motorcycle smash, was found with 25 ecstasy tablets in his back pocket.

The 36-year-old, of Reading Street, Railway Village, Swindon, admitted possessing Class A and B drugs with intent to supply on the grounds he was looking after them for someone else as well as several counts of possessing both kinds of drugs.

Sentencing him to a total of 21 months prison the recorder, Mr Tim Grice, told him: "Supplying drugs in pubs is a dangerous social situation."

Swindon Crown Court heard that when Cox went to Westlea Police Station later to answer to police bail he was found to have 25 ecstasy tablets on him and more ecstasy tablets and quantities of cannabis and cocaine were found.

His solicitor Andrew Hobson said that following a serious motorcycle accident Cox had relied on "very heavy" prescribed medication and had lapsed into drug taking.

"He answered to his bail with 25 ecstasy tablets in his back pocket and this illustrates the naivety of Mr Cox," Mr Hobson said. "He was by no means the most sophisticated user and he was in such a terrible state because he was taking so many drugs."
