A man died in hospital after being arrested as he celebrated his 21st birthday, an inquiry heard.
James MacGregor had been held on charges of alleged threatening or abusive behaviour and common assault. He was taken to a station in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, and placed in a holding cell for two hours where he was 'slumped' and not responding to police staff.
A sheriff heard he had consumed drink and drugs as he celebrated his birthday with friends. MacGregor was spotted with a bag of powder in his mouth in the police station and struggled with two constables before he spat it out.
