David Usher’s forgotten stash of magic mushrooms turned up unexpectedly – when they were found by the police.
Officers came across the psilocin during a drugs raid on his home at Bayview Terrace, Thurso, on April 14. They located the Class A drug in a hallway cupboard, Wick Sheriff Court was told.
When confronted with it, Usher said: “Where did you find that? I had forgotten about that.”
Fiscal Fraser Matheson told Sheriff Andrew Berry: “It seems the police assisted in finding his magic mushrooms.”
Sheriff Andrew Berry quipped: “Clearly, they don’t help the memory”.
Usher, 52, admitted possession of the drugs and was fined £200 at Wick Sheriff Court yesterday.
