Police found “an adult-sized lump” under the covers in a man’s bed while searching for drugs, Dundee Sheriff Court has heard.
The “lump” turned out to be the girlfriend of a man who was banned from approaching her as a condition of his bail order.
Kevin Wright, 27, of Hilltown, was arrested by police after they found Abi Drummond in his bedroom, along with a quantity of cannabis in his living room.
Wright admitted breaching the bail condition on Thursday at Hilltown by possessing cannabis and by allowing Ms Drummond to enter his home and to stay overnight.
Depute fiscal Beverley Adam said police had stopped him in the street at about 11.15am and he had dropped a rolled cigarette which smelled of cannabis.
He was also smelling strongly of the drug and, while nothing was found in his possession when they searched him, he appeared nervous, she said.
He allowed police to accompany him to his flat in Hilltown, but on entering the living room he grabbed a jumper and threw it on top of a table. Police had seen a quantity of herbal substance there, which was cannabis valued at £313.
“They checked the premises and in a bedroom they saw an adult-sized lump under the bedclothes,” Ms Adam said.
The person was identified as Ms Drummond and Wright was detained.
Solicitor Gary McIlravey said his client had had “no choice” in the matter as she had pursued him from the minute he was granted bail.
He said Wright had tried to ignore Ms Drummond’s approaches but had eventually given in when she came to his door and banged and shouted through the letterbox to let her in.
“He was pursued by the complainer, who wanted to rekindle the relationship,” Mr McIlravey said.
Sheriff Richard Davidson said: “Clearly she was in your house and I’m entitled to assume that she sought you out.”
He said he would “reluctantly” grant Wright bail, but this time with a curfew, and deferred sentence for reports until February 13.
