A man found with drug equipment in Queen Elizabeth Park in Hamilton was sentenced to time already spent in custody.

Delmari Scott, 43, admitted having a hollow socket intended for drug misuse when he appeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

The court heard that police in the park saw Scott, from Sandys, put the item into his pocket on August 12, 2025.

Police then arrested Scott for having the equipment, which later tested positive for cocaine.

Scott was remanded into custody on November 4, when he initially denied the offence, but changed his plea yesterday in court.

Magistrate Craig Attridge sentenced Scott to time already spent behind bars.
