Glasgow man stopped in Audi had cocaine in underpants
Greig McEwan was stopped by police in his grey Audi around 10.30pm near Freelands Crescent, Old Kilpatrick a year ago.
Officers went to speak to the 25-year-old and noticed he was nervous and placed his hands on the front of his trousers.
They formed the opinion he was in possession of drugs.
An initial cursory search failed to turn up anything but then they noticed a bag on the floor.
A full search at Clydebank police office found six knotted bags in the front of his underwear. There were another four in the rear.
They tested positive for cocaine and the total value was £160.
McEwan, of McIntyre Street, Anderston, Glasgow, later pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of the class A drug on April 5, 2024.
At Dumbarton Sheriff Court on May 13, Sheriff Lorna Anderson ordered him to do 135 hours of unpaid work in the community within nine months.
She added that would allow "wriggle room" if he got work offshore.
