Gordon, of Patchway, Bristol, admitted possessing a class A drug with intent to supply in June. He was sentenced to 50 weeks ‘detention in a young offenders’ institution, suspended for two years.

After the hearing on Thursday his mother, Jane, said she was happy with the sentence and added: "I thought it was the best thing to do. I was afraid it would lead to bigger things."

The court heard Mrs Gordon, whose husband Eric has been a magistrate in North Avon for 15 years, found a clear plastic bag in her son's sock when she was hanging out the washing and took it to police.

Giles Tippett, defending, said: “This is an unusual case because of the way it came to the police attention.

"His mother found the items and was suspicious – he later attended a police station and made a full admission."

swim's just grateful his mom never called the police the two times she found something of his. made for some awkward 'family discussions' though.

Im suprised he didn't just get possesion rather than intent to supply. 3.35 grams isn't a massive amount. I can't really see how his mother thought she did the right thing. Hes serving a year in prison and is likely to come accross difficulties in future life when applying for jobs etc.

I can't believe he admitted to intending to sell it to pay off debt. hmmm.... possession or possession with intent..... possession or possession with intent... what to admit to? 3.35 grams, come on buddy

Some LSD in mum's bottle of gin just before leaving for a "vacation" to the Netherlands comes to mind. "Bye, Mum! Thanks for the help - ya bloody battle-axe!"
