Andrew Robinson, prosecuting, said police had given Denny a caution for cannabis possession on the condition he attended a drug referral appointment, but he did not go.

Peter Manning, defending, said Denny had agreed to go to the drug referral appointment but on the day he was to attend, his friend was taken ill.

Denny decided to go to hospital with his friend.

He did notify the drug agency he would not be attending, but he did not receive another appointment.
