A 23-year-old brought marijuana to a court date in Bavaria. He wanted to appeal against a penalty order for a narcotics violation.

Now he probably has to reckon with a new penalty order, which this time is likely to be a little higher, police said. The man wanted to give his objection to the penalty order on Tuesday morning. But already at the entrance control, officials at the district court of Forchheim found marijuana in the man's system. He now faces a higher penalty.
