He was later searched at Mansfield Police Station, on Great Central Road, where officers found heroin in his possession.
Charlton indicated a guilty plea to both charges at Mansfield Magistrates Court on December 20.
Magistrates sentenced him to a 12-month conditional discharge.
Forfeiture and destruction of the drugs were ordered and Charlton did not have to pay costs.
