inside his mouth was fined $500 in Magistrates' Court.

Terry Reginald Raynor, 36, of Horseshoe Road, pleaded guilty to cocaine possession.

Police prosecutor Insp. Kenrick James said Raynor was at the Southampton Rangers Club when Police approached him on another matter.

Officers noticed a large lump in his cheek, and told him they wanted to search him.

Raynor tried to run away, but he was detained after a struggle with Police.

In the process he spat out a plastic twist containing white rocks. The rocks were later found to be 1.4 grams of cocaine of 93 percent purity.

Insp. James said Raynor was originally mistaken for his brother and incorrectly processed.

Raynor asked Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp to take his financial situation into account.

She asked him: "You have no money, but you have enough money to buy drugs?''.

He claimed that he found the drugs.

Mrs. Mapp asked him: "So you found them on the ground and you put them in your mouth?'' Raynor replied: "Yes''.

Mrs. Mapp fined him $500 and stated: "I suggest you get whatever help you need before someone finds you on the ground.'' CLEANSWEEP DEFENDANT PLEADS GUILTY CTS Cleansweep defendant pleads guilty A man picked up during Operation Cleansweep pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to two counts of supplying crack cocaine.

But Edness, who appeared for mention with his lawyer Elizabeth Christopher, yesterday changed his plea.

He admitted to supplying crack on April 25 and on May 1.

Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp remanded Edness in custody. He will be sentenced today.

FINED FOR CUP MATCH DRINKING SESSION CTS Fined for Cup Match drinking session Consuming "too much alcohol'' during the Cup Match holiday proved to be costly for a father and son.

Acting Senior Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp ordered Robert King, 41, of East Shore Lane, Sandys Parish, and his 20-year-old son Jason, to pay fines totalling $240 for offences they committed on July 31.

Police prosecutor Phil Taylor said Jason King, who was visiting his father for the summer, was seen kicking a hole in the door of Bermuda Electric Light Company's office in the area around 9.30 p.m. on July 31.

Police were alerted and one witness told them that they had seen the same man get off a private yacht docked in St. George's Harbour.

Sgt. Taylor said the officers went to the area and saw King who told them he had no memory of the event.

But Police noticed that his breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were red.

As Police were investigating the wilful damage matter, King's father -- who was aboard the yacht, began yelling profanities at Police.

Sgt. Taylor said Police cautioned the older King who said: "F*** off, you're not taking me off my f***ing boat, do you know who I am?'' Police then placed him under arrest for using offensive words.

Sgt. Taylor added that when Police told King he was under arrest he replied: "I don't f***ing believe this.'' Both men were taken to St. George's Police Station.

When Mrs. Mapp asked the father what caused his "colourful language'', he replied: "Too much alcohol''.

His son also admitted that he too had been "drinking too much''.

Mrs. Mapp ordered both men to pay fines of $120 each.
