LSD MAN IN COURT

A pharmacy assistant who was caught in posession of more than eight times
the commercial quantity of LSD said he was to take it to his girlfriend's
birthday party, Darwin Magistrate's Court heard yesterday.

The court heard that Conan Fred Lloyd Williams bought 100 squares of paper
in sheets impregnated with LSD.

Police found 97 squares when they raided his Nightcliff flat on June 2.

Williams, 22, was charged with possessing a commercial quantity (0.833g) of
lysergic acid. A commercial quantity of LSD is 0.1g or over.

He was also charged with having a traffickable quantity (1.046g) of MDMA
(ecstasy) and with having small amounts of methamphetamine.

Prosecutor Nigel Browne handed up statements and photos and photographs in
hand-up committal proceedings for Williams.

Magistrate Greg Cavenagh found sufficient evidence in the hand-up brief to
commit Williams for trial, ordering him to appear before the Supreme Court
on November 29.
