A cannabis user who suffered a panic attack in court has been spared prison after being convicted of dealing heroin and cocaine to pay off a drug debt.
Nathan Noonan, 23, of Ayrshire Gardens, St Helens, was stopped by police on Marzahn Way in Widnes on November 26, 2020, and taken to Widnes Police Station for a strip search.
Mark Phillips, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday that Noonan divulged to officers he had a Kinder egg of drugs in his underwear.
