Hide AdReynolds, of Godley Street near Thompson Park in Burnley, was not represented by a solicitor and told Burnley Magistrates Court that he was short of money to the extent that he could not afford a ticket for the bus.
He had been in recovery for just short of three years now, and said: “I have not been going to as many meetings. I think I just had a lapse in judgement that day.
“I regret it. It was embarrassing at the time. I don’t know what I was thinking about.”
