A Wigan man's clueless antics have landed him a place in a new book about the world's most stupid villains.
When Stephen West pulled a lump of cannabis resin out of his pocket as he walked through security checks at Wigan Magistrates Court last year, little did he know that he would hit news stands across the country.
The 20-year-old, who was appearing for alleged breach of licence conditions, showed the substance to surprised security staff and asked them what he should do with the drug while he went into his hearing.
The bemused security officers told him he could not take the cannabis into court and said he would have to leave it with them.
Incredibly he agreed and even SIGNED his name on a receipt confirming the cannabis was his.
West, who lives in Jasmine Road, Worsley Hall, pleaded guilty to possession of the Class C drug and was fined £50 and ordered to pay £43 court costs.
