School library drug dealer dodges jail

A TEENAGER who peddled LSD in a school library has dodged jail.

Dilon Brown, now 20, handed out cards headed Guilty Pleasures and had samples of ecstasy, cocaine and LSD in his blazer pockets.

He was exposed after giving one of his ‘business cards’ with an LSD tab taped to the back to a sixth form girl at St Modan’s High School in Stirling, where he was a pupil.

Yesterday, Stirling Sheriff Court heard that on September 9, 2016, Brown, then 18, gave another pupil a card in the school library.

A 17-year-old girl then asked for one. Brown handed her one and said: ‘I’ve free samples.’

Prosecutor Lindsey Brooks said the girl asked him if it was true he had drugs and he replied, ‘Yeah, obviously,’ and laughed. He told her: ‘I can get you anything you want. I’ll show you.’

He then pulled a bag of ecstasy tablets, cocaine and LSD tabs out of his blazer pockets.

After the girl and another pupil told the headmaster, police were called. Brown had £250 worth of drugs in his blazer pocket, a price list and business cards. He was expelled from the school.

In court, Brown, now a computer programmer, pleaded guilty to supplying LSD and possessing cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy.

Sheriff Alison McKay sentenced Brown to 150 hours of unpaid work and told him the community sentence was ‘a direct alternative to custody’.
