Hide AdAndrew Robinson, prosecuting, said the woman, who had known Fisher eight years, had allowed him to stay at her address on January 30 because he had nowhere else to go. Later she found Fisher had gone and £30 was missing from her purse.
Gerry Coyle, defending, said Fisher had bi-polar and schizophrenia and spent the money on drugs; he felt bad and was now drug free. Fisher was bailed for pre-sentence reports by magistrates.
