A 20-year-old took cocaine in the toilets of a nightclub after being given it in the bar area, a court heard.
Joshua Beck told police he had been offered a small bag of the Class A drug by someone at the bar on November 24.
He had then taken it into the toilets of Strata nightclub, in Skipton, but was stopped by staff on his way out, the court was told.
The police were called and he was arrested and taken to the police station.
Beck, of Cowper Street, Skipton, who admitted possession of a Class A drug, told the court he had nothing to say.
At Skipton magistrates’ court yesterday, he was fined £120 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and £20 victims surcharge. A forfeiture and destruction order was made on the drugs.
