AN OBAN man has pleaded guilty to intentionally obstructing police officers by swallowing an item believed to be controlled drugs.
Paul Nicol, of 2A Lynn Gardens, Oban, received a £200 fine when he appeared in front of Oban Sheriff Court on Wednesday October 25.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty told the court that, while on patrol, two police officers were alerted by a member of the public that Nicol was in possession of heroin.
