The Prosecutor revealed that on Saturday, February 24, last year, at around 11pm police spotted a Seat Leon driving down William Street, Lurgan and at Mary Street signalled for the vehicle to stop.



The driver was “acting suspiciously” and police conducted a search of the vehicle and a bag of white powder was found. He made admissions during interview. Flynn was given a three months custodial sentence suspended for two years to run concurrently with his previously imposed three months suspended sentence.
