pipe used for smoking drugs in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

But Andrew Gavin Arorash, of Mount Hill, will only face another two days in prison because he had been in custody since June 1 and the Wor. John Judge ruled this should be taken into account.

Arorash had been remanded in custody for failing to appear in court on the scheduled date.

He had admitted possessing the pipe on March 5, but sentencing had been delayed for a social inquiry report.

The court heard he had a number of similar convictions.

Mr. Judge told him: "Get yourself together. If you don't you're going to be in and out of prison, if you don't end up in St. Brendan's.'' POLICE ASK ATTACKER TO GIVE HIMSELF UP CRM Police ask attacker to give himself up Two people needed hospital treatment after a disturbance at a Pembroke home.
