He was initially placed on a three-month structured deferred sentence during a court appearance in April and was ordered to be of good behaviour and attend drug services.
Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said: “He’s on a structured deferred sentence and doing relatively well.”
The court was told a social worker had asked for an extension to Merrilees’ structured deferred sentence to be considered.
However, Sheriff Christopher Shead instead chose to place Merrilees under supervision for 12 months.
