A GYMPIE diesel fitter who works in the mines pleaded guilty to possessing drug utensils despite saying the gear belonged to a mate.
Hayden Clifford Wadley, 38, was found with a water pipe and bowl and container containing cannabis at his North Deep Creek home on New Yearâs Day this year.
He told Gympie Magistrateâs Court on Monday the items were not his because he gets tested every time he returns to the mines and had been âgiven the all clear.â
He said it was a friendâs belongings that was left at his house but he took responsibility for it.
