Ryan Lee Coath admitted possessing six-and-a- half tablets of ecstasy and a small quantity of cannabis when he recently appeared before Trowbridge magistrates.
Coath, 19, of Daniell Crest, Warminster, represented himself in court, where magistrates heard how police officers had found drugs on him while he was hiding from them in a supermarket car park. He said, in his defence, that the drugs were for his own personal use.
Magistrates sentenced Coath to serve a two-year conditional discharge and fined him £60 costs.
