A 32-year-old man has admitted drug-dealing after being caught with cocaine and cannabis.
Daniel Jonathan Fick, of Park Road, Douglas, pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis with intent to supply and simple possession of cocaine.
He will be sentenced on February 9 after a probation report has been completed.
Prosecuting advocate Chrissie Hunt told the court that police in plain clothes were on patrol on bicycles when they stopped to speak to Fick who was walking.
He was said to have appeared nervous and when asked if he had any drugs replied: ’Yes, I’ve just got a little bit of cannabis.’

James Jeremy Rennison admitted the offence.
Prosecuting advocate Chrissie Hunt last week told the High Bailiff that Rennison was sitting on the pavement outside the Nag’s Head pub in Victoria Street in Douglas on August 4 at 9pm.
He was said to be staring into the pub for around an hour and staff became worried about his behaviour.
Police arrived and he told them he had been walking all day and his ’legs had gone’.
He was arrested but then began flailing his arms around and was subsequently restrained.
Rennison was initially charged with resisting arrest but that was replaced with threatening behaviour.
