James Johnson, 30, was wearing a bra over his shirt and carrying a bag of the spuds as he entered the hotel in Eastleigh, Hampshire, South England, before being caught by officers who found an ''Aladdin's cave of drugs'', including ecstasy, another designer drug similar to MDMA called 5-MAPB and a psychedelic substance called 2CB.

James was sentenced to 18-months community order, with the requirement to carry out a nine-month drug rehabilitation program.

When asked by Judge Peter Henry at Southampton Crown Court what his intentions were, Johnson replied: ''It felt like the right thing to do at the time.''
