Jail for Hamilton man who supplied drugs in St Andrews

Jail for Hamilton man who supplied drugs in St Andrews

A drug dealer who supplied a Class A substance nicknamed DOC in St Andrews has been jailed for four months at Cupar Sheriff Court.

First offender Stuart Wright, 24, of Sycamore Drive, Hamilton, admitted supplying alpha-methylated phenethylamine, or DOC, at a flat in St Andrews on April 9 2013.

He further admitted being in possession of the drug as well as cannabis on April 10 2013.

The court previously heard Wright arranged to meet two people to supply the drug, which has similarities to LSD and gave them two sugar cubes with the substance dripped on to them.

The offence came to the attention of police while they were investigating another matter and the accused was traced.

The court heard the accused provided officers with a brown envelope containing blotting paper from his living room and also handed over a vile containing liquid, which was found to be DOC.

Officers also found 4.6 grams of cannabis. When interviewed, the accused was said to be “exceptionally candid with police” and fully admitted the offences.

The DOC liquid found was 3.6 millilitres and the substance was said to have a street value of £5 per single drop and £750 per 150 drops.

Wright, a software company employee who is also studying a masters degree in information technology at Glasgow University, was said to have sold the sugar cubes containing the substance for £200 each.

His defence solicitor told the court Wright’s involvement in the offence had been borne out of “navety and peer pressure”.

“He accepts his conduct was despicable and he is remorseful,” he added.

Addressing Wright, Sheriff Charles Macnair said: “You are a highly educated and intelligent man who was concerned in the supply of a Class A drug.

“You were not forced into this…in my view there is no excuse at all for what you were doing.”
