Coke Man Fined For Being Out Of Line

An Aberdeen man caught with cocaine at a nightclub has been fined.

Matthew Lorenson was caught at the Pearl Lounge in Aberdeen city centre with a quarter of a gram of the Class A drug.

The 25-year-old appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court where he admitted being in possession of the drug on January 28 this year.

Fiscal depute Alison Shaw told the court Lorenson was caught after being seen with another man in the toilet area of the nightclub.

She said: “Witnesses saw them leaning over.”

Defence agent Stuart Beveridge said: “It was a drunken night out with friends.”

Lorenson was fined £200 by Sheriff Malcolm Garden.
