Darren O’Brien (38) was supplying the class A drug from his own home until he was arrested by police when they discovered him in possession of 1.7 grammes of heroin worth £370 and he admitted he had been selling it.

Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, O’Brien had previously pled guilty to being concerned in the supply of the drug in Vicar Street, Falkirk, between September 1 and December 15 last year.
