Four Highlands pupils were hospitalised by legal highs
A teenager who supplied legal highs to youngsters from an Inverness school which led to four pupils being hospitalised has been admonished by a Sheriff.
A structured deferred sentence had been imposed earlier this year on Adam Fraser, (16), of Millerton Avenue when he admitted supplying the substances to the four boys aged between 13 and 16 on September 4 last year.
Inverness Sheriff Court had heard that the boys became sick in a toilet at Charleston Academy after they smoked the roll-up substance which they got from Fraser during a lunch break at a local shopping complex.
The drama at Charleston Academy unfolded when staff saw the condition of pupils and they were taken to hospital by ambulance.
They suffered no long term effects.
Sheriff Margaret Neilson had told Fraser he was very lucky he was not appearing in the High Court on much more serious charges.
Rory Gowans, solicitor, had told the sheriff Fraser did not make any money from his actions and he was "oblivious" to what occurred in the school and is aghast at what happened.
Sheriff Neilson said no one has any idea what is in these legal highs and Fraser could easily have been sitting in the High Court facing much more serious charges.
On Friday, Mr Gowans told Sheriff Neilson the update background reports were in very positive terms and there had been no further offending.
"He seems to have grown up," said Mr Gowans.
Sheriff Neilson told Fraser he was admonished.
