Scots prisoner caught with mobile phone sticking out his bum during search by jail staff
16.02.2022 - 16:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A prisoner bent over during a search and revealed a mobile phone sticking out of his backside.
Grant Macbeth was serving a four-year jail term when he was caught with the phone wedged in his bottom inside Castle Huntly prison.
Fiscal depute Stewart Hamilton told Perth Sheriff Court : "The accused was subjected to a search within his cell.
"The prison officers saw a small black object protruding from the accused's anus. He was ordered to hand the item over, which he did. It was observed to be a small mobile phone."
The incident happened on 10 December 2019, before phones were issued to inmates across Scotland as a result of the Covid pandemic.
The court heard that officers at the open jail, near Dundee, became concerned about Macbeth’s behaviour and decided to carry out a search.
The prisoner, 35, from Livingston, admitted a charge of possessing a phone behind bars and was ordered to carry out a Drug Treatment and Testing Order (DTTO).
Solicitor Paul Ralph, defending, said Macbeth was trying to turn his life around and was in the early stages of trying to start a business.
Sheriff William Wood imposed the 12-month DTTO and said: "If it helps you get over your addiction then the court's all for that."
Macbeth replied: "It's appreciated."
