News / Another two months for Steven
A LERWICK drug addict who tried to smuggle heroin and cannabis into prison was given another two months in jail on Monday.
Last Thursday 22 year old Steven Nicholson, of 12 Park Lane, Lerwick, was convicted of reckless and dangerous driving on icy roads after he admitted driving his car at a policeman on Christmas Day last year.
On Friday a doctor was called to examine Nicholson at Lerwick police station and it was discovered that he had concealed heroin, cannabis resin and cannabis oil worth about £150 inside his body.
Honorary sheriff Malcolm Bell added two months to the 226 day jail sentence
Nicholson received last week.
