Drug dealer wore Scooby Doo costume

A man who dressed as Scooby Doo and sold ecstasy at the T in the Park music festival has been spared jail.

Perth Sheriff Court heard how Ryan Wiseman's distinctive appearance, which also included a pink Mohican, made him an ideal target for police.

He was stopped twice by officers on consecutive days at the music festival and on both occasions police found drugs.



The court heard that Wiseman had attracted attention by dressing up in the full-length cartoon character's costume. As well as walking around dressed as the crime-cracking Great Dane, he also had a bright pink Mohican and a rose tattoo on his neck.

The plumbing firm boss admitted selling the Class A drug at the music festival near Balado, Kinross, in July.

The 27-year-old, of Harestane Road, in Dundee, has been ordered to carry out 120 hours of community service.
