Govan man remanded after admitting drug dealing from his home

A 25-year-old man from Govan has been remanded in custody after admitting dealing drugs from his home.

Adin Fouchong pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to being concerned in the supply of clonazolam and cocaine. He also admitted having £8,930.17 in criminal cash.

The raid

The court heard that police officers with a search warrant forced entry to his home in Govan on 3 July 2025, where they found him in bed. He asked officers whether they wanted him to show them where everything was.

Officers recovered 60,000 clonazolam tablets, worth £6,110, from a rucksack and black bags. They also found cocaine worth £7,680 and the cash. Messages on his phone showed unknown people contacting him to ask for specific amounts of drugs.

What is clonazolam?

Clonazolam is a powerful 'designer' benzodiazepine that is not licensed for medical use in the UK. It is often sold as fake prescription tablets. Health experts and campaigners have repeatedly warned about the dangers of street benzodiazepines, which are a major factor in Scotland's drug death figures, particularly when taken alongside other drugs.

In court

His solicitor, Jennifer Noble, told the court Fouchong had built up a debt that he needed to pay off after mixing with a negative group of peers. She said he was in full-time work as a barber.

The court heard he has a previous conviction for drug driving, for which he received a 16-month driving ban and a £200 fine in May 2026.

Sheriff Daniel Kelly deferred sentence until next month for background reports. He said that given the nature of the offences, bail was not appropriate and Fouchong would be remanded in custody. He said all sentencing options would be open to the court.

The Daily Scot will report on the outcome when he is sentenced.
