Smith, whose general address was given as Aberdeen, faced two charges of being concerned in the supply of drugs.

The 22-year-old made no plea during the behind-closed-doors hearing.

A spokeswoman for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal service confirmed the case against Smith was committed for further examination and he was released on bail.

A date for his next court appearance over the allegations has still to be confirmed.
