A 24-year-old British man faces two years behind bars in Dubai after he tested positive for cannabis.
Connor Clements claimed he had been sleeping on the floor of a cell with 25 other people before being released on bail.
Mr Clements flew from Liverpool to Dubai to get out of a “rut” in his life and landed a job as a waiter earlier this year.
He underwent a medical test for his new employer but was arrested when the results showed he had traces of cannabis in his system. Mr Clements said he had taken the drug before boarding his flight to the United Arab Emirates.
The reasons never to visit the Emirates keep piling up. I've got a high school friend living in Dubai who's invited me to see his place, but I doubt that I'll ever take him up on it.
