A MAN who had £2,000 worth of cocaine for a stag weekend has avoided jail. Andrew Kerr, of New Street, Duntocher, arrived at Dumbarton Sheriff Court last week bracing for a custodial sentence but Sheriff Maxwell Hendry said he could punish him with a hefty alternative in the community. The 34-year-old previously pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine on October 25, 2019 at his Duntocher home. He also admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis. Defence solicitor Brian McGuire admitted the choice facing the sheriff over his client was stark . He said Kerr and a host of others had chipped in to buy £2,000 worth of cocaine for a stag weekend - and Kerr s contribution was £100, but he had the drugs.

The vast majority of injuries documented in the federal study happened while workers were lifting a patient, and injuries to the trunk and neck were most common.
The second highest occurrence that leads to emergency room treatment is exposure to harmful substances, such as blood and body fluids, or being spit on. Exposure incidents account for about 27 percent of injuries, although they re often quickly treated.
