Cocaine accused committed to higher court

A covert police operation has landed a young man in court after he allegedly sold cocaine to undercover officers.

Ethan Georgeson of Queens Road in Port St Mary appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

Prosecutor Barry Swain told the court undercover officers contacted Mr Georgeson through Snapchat and arranged to meet on September 9 last year.

He  allegedly handed over a wrap of cocaine weighing 0.8g for £100 before allegedly supplying officers with a wrap of cocaine on twice more on September 15 and 16.

Mr Georgeson also faces two charges of possessing cannabis.

He was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery, where he'll appear on March 23, and bailed with a 7pm to 7am curfew.
