A 34-year-old Onchan man has been convicted of driving while disqualified, having no insurance, and cannabis possession.

Andrew Hall, of The Park, will be sentenced on November 12 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecuting advocate Hazel Carroon told the court that police spoke to Hall while he was parked in a Volkswagen Golf on South Quay in Douglas on August 6.

A search found 1.8 grams of cannabis, valued at £36, and checks revealed that he was a disqualified driver. An insurance certificate was found in the vehicle but in another person’s name.

Defence advocate Peter Taylor asked for credit to be given for his client’s guilty plea and asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing.

Magistrates ordered that the report consider all sentencing options, including custody.

Bail continues.
