A NEWTOWN man has described himself as "a not very good drug dealer" when appearing in court.
David Hosie pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis and diazepam at a house in Galashiels, on February 7.
The 28-year-old of Glenburn Avenue, was found in possession of the drugs after police raided a house in Torwoodlee Road.
Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser told Selkirk Sheriff Court that 218 diazepam tablets were recovered along with 14 gramms of cannabis - with a value of more than £400.
Also found was £196.34 in cash.
The fiscal said evidence of drug dealing was also found on Hosie's phone.
Defence lawyer Ross Dow said: "This was very short-lived on his part and he has nothing to do with drugs now.
"He described himself as a not very good drug dealer."
Sentence was deferred for six months for good behaviour and the cash recovered was forfeited.
