He was with Shane Vincent at the time, who was found to have �26 of heroin on him. Denis King, prosecuting, said
Raymond Paul Clayton was also present and police officers subsequently went to his home in Godric Place and Clayton told them where he was growing two cannabis plants.

Gavin Cowe, mitigating on behalf of all three defendants, said Clayton had been growing the cannabis for his own use, for when traditional painkillers were not enough to numb the pain his back as a result of two car accidents.
He said Feavyer was only a recreational user of drugs who had kept out of trouble since 2004, while Vincent had had a heroin addiction for 16 years.
