Brandon Scott's second court appearance in four days for drug offences

Brandon Scott, of Partletts Way, Powick, was jailed for 12 months at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Monday, (September 12), after admitting a number of thefts from a shop, Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) breaches and an attempted theft.

Scott appeared via videolink to Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday, (September 15), where he admitted possession of 0.188 grams of heroin, 0.648 grams of crack cocaine and 0.310 grams of cocaine in Worcester.

Prosecutor Owen Beale explained the latest case was a tidying-up exercise as there were three outstanding offences to be dealt with. 

Mr Beale said the 24-year-old was arrested by police on March 13 and police became concerned he was concealing drugs from them after he was taken to the police station.

Officers explained to him he would need to go to the hospital if the drugs were inside him.

"That was a sufficient prompt for him to produce these three wraps which he had concealed inside himself," Mr Beale said.

Mr Beale suggested a conditional discharge to provide an "indicator of how to behave in future".

Judith Kenney, defending, said the offences should have been dealt with at the Kidderminster hearing.

Mrs Kenney explained Scott was sentenced for the principal offences of the thefts and breaching the CBO by entering Co-op and Wilko stores in Malvern when he was prevented from doing.

She said Scott's community order had ended when he was jailed, adding her suggested penalty was a small fine. 

Chris Mitchell, chairman of the magistrates bench, said they were fining him £10 for each possession offence, and ordered him to pay victim surcharge of £34.

At the end of the hearing the chairman said: "You can go", before adding: "When I say go, I mean back to your cell."

Scott, who was wearing a grey top, laughed as he got up to leave.

Ms Hinte died in August 2017, aged 49, following a suspected heart attack at her home in Borrowdale Drive, Worcester.

In a previous case, magistrates heard Scott’s life spiralled into drug-taking and crime after finding her body in August 2019.
