A GALASHIELS man has admitted breaching his bail condition just hours after appearing in court.
Logan MacKenzie was released on bail from Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday afternoon on the condition he had no contact with co-accused Charley Brown and remained within his home in King Street between the hours of 7pm and 7am.
But the 34-year-old pleaded guilty to being in Brown's company at a house at 50 Torwoodlee Road, Galashiels, at 11.30pm on the same day.
Sentence was deferred until October 23 for background reports and MacKenzie was released on bail.
Brown, who lives at 20 Torwoodlee Road, pleaded not guilty to a similar charge and also denied being in possession of cannabis at Hawick Police Station.
A trial date was set for October 24 and a motion for bail was refused and the 22-year-old was remanded in custody.
MacKenzie and Brown had originally been bailed after being accused, along with a 37-year-old man, of an assault and robbery on a woman.
