Man arrested looking for his drugs

A man with a nodge of cannabis bucked the trend of discarding the drug as the gardaí approached — and proved the exception to the rule by deciding to pick it up as the gardaí arrived.

Michael Maurice O’Brien, aged 35, of 18B Mourne Avenue, The Glen, Cork, came to the attention of gardaí on patrol at Middle Glanmire Rd, Cork, in the early hours of the morning.

Garda Stephen Aherne approached and found O’Brien actively looking for something on the ground.
