A former drug addict was caught with the drugs again in spite of all progress he made in life, Bournemouth Magistrates heard.
Dean Doulton Mosley, 35, of Sandford Road, Wareham, admitted keeping drugs in his house. Police found drugs after searching his house on August 20, last year and arrested him.
Alieun Jobartea, prosecuting, said that Mosley had repeat offences since 1992 and in 1999 suffered from a heavy heroin addiction. He also "was stealing in order to support his drug addiction."
Sharon Taylor, defending, said that Mousley had made great progress following the time he spent in a rehabilitation centre in 2005. His last sentence was to work as a local community drug centre assistant and for the last 18 months he participated in methadone reduction programme.
Miss Taylor said Mosley passed his driving test in May last year and got two jobs.
"He was working with his mother in Wimborne market and he also worked at a golf club as a grassman. The amount of drugs found in his flat was very small and it was clear that he did not use drugs on a regular basis. It was just one small relapse and should be treated in the same manner."
The chairman of the bench said: "Although you are guilty, we are delighted to hear about the progress you have made. All your achievements have been taken into consideration." Mosley was fined £285.
