Sir Elton John’s estranged half brother Geoff Dwight has been fined £120 for possession of magic mushrooms.
Elton JohnGeoff Dwight, 56, appeared at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court on Friday , where he pleaded guilty to having Class A drugs at his home in Ruthin, North Wales back in December 2021.Arriving at court, Dwight carried a totem on his shoulder, which he said was a ‘religious’ item.
In response, Defence solicitor Nia Dawson said: ‘The most disturbing part is the time it’s taken for the matter to come to court, 13 months, it’s unacceptable.Dawson added that Dwight had ‘forgotten’ the mushrooms were there, as he knows they are ‘against the law.’The 56-year-old entered court carrying a totem, which he claimed was ‘religious’
