Peter Storer pleaded guilty to possession of heroin, cannabis, and buprenorphine

Peter Storer, 38, of Spilsby Road, pleaded guilty at Boston Magistrates' Court to possession of heroin, cannabis, and buprenorphine – a heroin substitute – on April 17.Jim Clare, prosecuting, said Storer had been reported to police at around 6.40am for sleeping in a shed in Chapel Passage, Boston.When the officer arrived at the scene, Storer was caught snorting heroin from tinfoil, and also in possession of cannabis, Mr Clare said.A strip-search followed at the police station, and a cellophane wrapper was discovered in Storer's bottom containing buprenorphine.
Terry Boston, in mitigation, said Storer had been prescribed the heroin substitute.
He added, however, that his client pleaded guilty because he was unable to produce documentation to prove the claim."Why he tried to hide it in such a peculiar place I have no idea," he said.Mr Boston continued: "He is an addict and he does need to take these drugs. "He has been getting some help towards it, but clearly he is not responding very well to the treatment." The court fined Storer £200 for possession of the drugs, and also ordered him to pay £60 for costs, and the £15 victim surcharge.A forfeiture order was also made for the destruction of the drugs.
