Onchan man offered to sell cocaine via Facebook

30-year-old will be sentenced at Court of General Gaol Delivery

An Onchan man will be sentenced later this year after admitting offering to supply cocaine via Facebook.

Glenn Matthew Batty, of Barrule Drive, pleaded guilty to the offence during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.

The 30-year-old was said to have offered three grams of the Class A drug to another man between 16 and 20 August 2023.

He'd also previously admitted assaulting a woman and possessing drugs on 18 May 2024 and a domestic abuse offence which was committed between 23 September and 1 October last year. 

Committal proceedings – where the case is elevated to the Court of General Gaol Delivery – were completed; he’ll next appear there on 31 January.

There was no application for bail and he was further remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
