A Burnley man, found with cocaine in his sock at a working men's club, ended up with a £120 "bill" when he appeared before magistrates.
Jason McKenzie legged it when officers turned up, saying:' Not getting locked up for drugs' before running off from The Lamb Working Men's Club.
McKenzie's actions were described as 'stupidity,' by his solicitor, Mr Geoff Ireland at Burnley Magistrates Court.
