The 40-year-old will return to court on May 10 for the offence. Kaptelli, who was charged with having the drug on his possession, pled not guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court on April 12. The trial of a man accused of driving on to the opposite side of the road and forcing traffic to take evasive action has been adjourned.

He is believed to have driven at excessive speed for the prevailing conditions and entered the opposing carriagewa­y to overtake vehicles, forcing them to take evasive action to avoid a collision.

Leonard has had his trial adjourned for May 5 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
