The 31-year-old was allegedly concerned in the supply of the Class B drug between July 1-2.

On July 1, Brown allegedly tried to defeat the ends of justice by throwing a bag of green herbal substance while police officers were at his front door. The Crown alleges that the following day, Brown threw a mobile phone into the River Tay in an attempt to destroy potential evidence with the aim of defeating the ends of justice.

No plea was made on Brown’s behalf by defence solicitor Theo Finlay.

Sheriff Alastair Carmichael continued the case for further examination and released Brown on bail.
