Warning him to complete the order, Mr Copeland said, “If you don’t do the work and follow the instructions you will be brought back to court. You will then most likely receive a custodial sentence and spend the remainder of the year in jail. Do the work or do the time.”

A destruction order was granted for the seized drugs.
