Undone by undone pants


At least he was being a gentleman and helping her out so she wouldn't ruin her nails.

A man was nailed for drug possession after he went into the ladies loos to undo his girlfriend's trousers so she would not ruin her new nail varnish.
Mark Turner, a jobless 23-year-old, of Lower Bank Road, Fulwood, Preston, pleaded guilty to illegal possession of cannabis.

Blackpool magistrates decided the 18 hours he had spent in custody would serve in lieu of a £65 fine and ordered the drugs to be destroyed.

Philip Turner, prosecuting, said a police officer became suspicious when he saw Turner and a woman go into the ladies public toilets at Blackpool's Talbot Road bus station on Tuesday (January 12) at 4.15pm.

The prosecutor added: "The officer followed them and knocked on the cubicle door. The defendant said he was helping his girlfriend."

Turner was searched when he left the cubicle and two wraps of cannabis were found on him.

Stephen Duffy, defending, said Turner and his girlfriend were waiting for a bus home when she had to go to the toilet.

Mr Duffy added: "She had just had her nails done and was apparently unable to unfasten her trousers herself without damaging her new nail polish, so he accompanied her to assist her.

"The cannabis was for his own use."
