the dangers of drug abuse.

Anderson made the comments to Senior Magistrate Archie Warner after denying charges of wilful damage and threatening behaviour.

Anderson, of St. Monica's Road, Pembroke, told Mr. Warner at Magistrates' Court: "Tell all the youth to stay off heroin. I'm trying to clean myself up and get my life together but I'm going through the after effects. I'm sweating and bringing up.'' Anderson was released on $2,000 bail and a like surety for the two offences.

His trials were set down for June.
