It’s hardly an appealing combination, but apparently that’s what a Nowra Hill man dished up to one mate and tried to sell to two others during a night out in Wollongong early this year.

Jordan Aaron Sharp was out celebrating his 18th birthday with friends on the night of January 15 when the security cameras caught him supplying what was suspected to be an illicit tablet to a friend in exchange for cash at the western end of Crown Street Mall.

The footage showed Sharp speaking to his friend outside the 7/11 convenience store around 1am before the man pulled out his wallet and removed some cash.

At the same time, Sharp unzipped his pants and reached down into his underwear, pulling out a resealable plastic bag and giving one of the tablets contained inside to his friends.

Two others males also came over and inspected Sharp’s tablets but did not make a purchase.

Sharp then closed the bag and pushed it ‘‘deep down the front of his underwear’’, police documents said, before zipping up his pants.

A security guard monitoring the cameras saw the exchange and alerted Wollongong Police, who found Sharp in the Hostage X nightclub a short time later.

He was taken outside the venue due to the noise and, after initially arguing with police, eventually submitted to a search.

At the request of officers, Sharp removed the plastic bag from inside his underwear.

It was seized by police and found to contain 14 tablets, which were later confirmed to be ecstasy.

Sharp was charged with supplying a prohibited drug, however was released on a good behaviour bond in the court on Friday after presiding judge Paul Conlon found the offence at the bottom of the range of objective seriousness.

‘‘The courts have long said anyone who engages in the manufacturing or supply of drugs to a substantial degree should expect nothing less than a term of imprisonment,’’ Judge Conlon said.

‘‘It’s clear on the facts presented to the court [in Sharp’s case] that I couldn’t be satisfied he had substantial involvement in the drug business at all.’’

In handing down the lenient sentence, Judge Conlon accepted that Sharp was remorseful for what he’d done, had no criminal record and good prospects of rehabilitation.
