Possession: Alex Robsinson, 37, from Aurora, Colorado, was caught with cocaine after turning up to court with three grams in his pocket
Robinson was forced to empty his pockets at the courthouse metal detector and dropped a bag with three grams of cocaine into a bin.
Kane County Sheriff's Lt. Pat Gengler told the Chicago Sun-Times: 'I don't know how you forget. It's not like you don't know there's a checkpoint coming up.'
Robinson was originally charged with delivery of cocaine in 2006 and sentenced to 180 days in the county jail and two years probation.
But in 2011, he was re-arrested for violating his probation, and scheduled to attend Kane County court last Wednesday for a hearing.

Police claim he tried to leave the scene but was arrested
Robinson was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.
