Dylan John Williams pleads guilty to drugs charges in Southport Magistrates Court

Police got a surprise when they pulled over a motorist and the man began to “heavily chew”.

A labourer tried to eat his stash of the drug ice, including the plastic clipseal bags, after he had been pulled over by police.

Dylan John Williams, 28, pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday to possessing a dangerous drug and possessing a relevant substance.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Reece Foort told the court Williams was a passenger in a grey Suzuki Swift they pulled over in Labrador on February 7, last year.

Williams was taken out of the car and as he sat on the side of the road he began to “heavily chew”.

Police demanded he spit what was in his mouth out.

“He spat out two clipseal bags of what is believed to be methamphetamine,” Sgt Foort said.

There was about 0.134g of the drug ice in the bag.

Police also found a small amount of GBL, similar to fantasy, on Williams.

Williams’ solicitor Farshad Sarabi, of Hannay Lawyers, said Williams had recently done five months in drug rehabilitation.

He said Williams planned to return to full time work after getting hand surgery.

The court was told Williams was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence for some other drug related incidents which occurred prior to February 7.

Magistrate Mark Howden said if they were dealt with on the same day Williams would not have received a harsher sentence.

He was convicted and not further punished.
