Mansfield Grandad Caught With Cocaine in Club Toilet

A Mansfield grandad has been caught with cocaine in a nightclub toilet moments after buying the drug, a court has heard.

 

Melvyn Parker, 49, admitted possession of a Class A drug when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court.

 

The court heard that he was caught by door staff with £40 of the drug, for personal use, on October 16. It was also revealed that he had a previous conviction for possession of a Class A drug in 2013.

 

Tim Haines, mitigating, said:

 

"He has grown-up children and grandchildren. He finds himself embarrassed to be here, He was under the influence of alcohol at the time.

 

"He made the foolish decision to buy cocaine under the watchful eye of the door staff."

 

Magistrate John Perry told Mr Parker:

 

"You are maybe getting a bit old for this. Maybe this will be the last time. It would be nice to think so. The big 50 is coming up."

 

Mr Parker was fined £350 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £35 and costs of £85.
