A Roma man was found needle in arm, shooting up drugs, when police walked into his home during a raid, the Roma Magistrates Court heard.
Magistrate Peter Saggers said it was a "pretty sad story to hear" that 42-year-old Nathan Cyril James Couchy (senior) was still taking drugs at his age.
Police prosecutor sergeant Heather Whiting told the court at 10.40am on April 4, police executed a search warrant at Couchy's home.
While walking to the rear of the house, police saw Couchy in the bedroom with a needle in his arm, injecting drugs, sergeant Whiting said.
