A judge has given a drug user conditional discharge after he admitted that 'he should suffer no more for dabbling in cocaine' than Michael Gove has.
Giedrius Arbaciauskas had pleaded guilty to possessing 2g of the drug and could have been jailed for up to seven years for the offence.
However Judge Owen Davies QC was lenient with the 28-year-old who lives in Essex and referred to Mr Gove's admittance of recreational drugs use – before he had become a politician.
