Prosecuting advocate Hazel Carroon told the court that police spoke to Cooper while he was in a Ford Fiesta at the Abbey restaurant car park in Ballasalla on November 14.
A search of the vehicle found 8.2 grams of cannabis, snap bags, scales and a gold knuckle duster.
When interviewed Cooper handed in a prepared statement saying the drug was for personal use and the knuckle duster was a gift from a friend which he had left in his car.
Bail was granted in the sum of £500 with conditions that Cooper reside at his home address, contact probation, and not leave the island without court permission.
