Rhodes was stopped at The Milestone Garage on Peel Road after a police officer spotted a problem with his lights - his vehicle was searched and the drug recovered.

Rhodes also admitted having no vehicle licence for the car adding: "I hadn’t got round to it."

Magistrates fined Rhodes £250 and ordered him to pay £50 in prosecution costs.
