A man found with an illegal drug at his home was sentenced to a 12-month community payback order, with a condition he completes 108 hours of unpaid work.
Kurt Muir, 28, of Cheviot Road, Hawick, admitted having amphetamine at a house at Halliburton Place, Galashiels – where he was living on December 20, 2011.
He was fined £55 after he also pleaded guilty to having an air rifle there – when excluded from possession of a firearm within five years of his release from a prison sentence.
