Jack Rogers, from Cronulla, pleaded guilty to Sutherland Local Court on Thursday after he was caught with .078g of cocaine at the Gymea Hotel beer garden.

Jack Rogers, 18, from Cronulla, pleaded guilty to Sutherland Local Court on Thursday after he was caught with .078g of cocaine at the Gymea Hotel beer garden The teen told the court that he thought he'd do the drugs for a 'bit of fun' According to the agreed police facts, officers saw Rogers look over at the drug dog and then remove something from his pocket and place it over the railing, the Daily Telegraph reported. Police later found Rogers's wallet containing 0.78g of cocaine. Rogers tried to get rid of the drugs after spotting police dog Buster (pictured) at the pub When asked why he had the drugs on him, Rogers allegedly replied 'it's my birthday', Magistrate Peter Bugden told the court. 'The legislation works 365 days a year - you don't get a day off for your birthday,' Mr Bugden told the teen. Rogers told the court he bought the drugs for $250 and said, 'I thought I'd do it for a bit of fun'.

'All of the people at the back of the court know you have done this before, you knew where to get it and how it works,' the magistrate said.
