Amulte Posted December 22, 2008 A man found with a stash of ecstasy tablets he insisted were birth control pills for his dog has had his argument thrown out in court.Steven James Dwyer, 48, was convicted in the Darwin Magistrates Court of two charges of drug possession after the judge ruled his account was not "reasonable", the Northern Territory News reports. While pleading guilty to the first count of possessing methamphetamine, Dwyer told the court the second charge of possession 70 ecstasy tablets was not for personal use but to stop his pet shar-peis from breeding. He told the court he got the pills from another dog owner he met at a laundromat who told him the tablets were handy for canine birth control. "We chatted about them. Where he got them ... we kept talking about dogs and how he bred her," Dwyer said. "And then we talked about his female coming on heat." Dwyer, a father-of-four, said the man gave him the pills after explaining his dog had recently been desexed. But the judge rejected his reasoning after hearing how Dwyer had been intercepted in his car by police carrying 23.5g of ecstasy and 5g of methamphetamine. The court also heard he had recently split up with his wife and had gone through a tough time at work. Dwyer was handed a two-month suspended sentence.
