Leave Heroin Dealers Alone Or Face Jail

Peter Drummond's brother-in-law became addicted to heroin, so Peter decided to do something about it. He went to see the dealer.

This post firmly belongs in the You-Couldn't-Make-It-Up Department.

He went round to the home of John Nellies (for it is he) and accused him of destroying the lives of innocent families. He then flushed five bags of heroin down the toilet.

So far, so good.

However it will come as no surprise to avid observers of the train-crash which this country has become that one of Nellies' customers then reported Peter to the police. He was promptly arrested and has just been sentenced by Sheriff Robert McCreadie of the Perth Sheriff Court to serve two months inside.

He told Drummond that he should have contacted the police. "You can't take matters into your own hands the way you did," he said.

He should have been given a medal.
