Drug dealer jailed after being spotted selling heroin by police in Rugeley
The 56-year-old was handed a jail term of more than five years
A drug dealer has been sentenced after being spotted selling heroin on a street by police in Rugeley.
Douglas Cox, 56, from Rugeley, was sentenced to five-years-and-ten months in prison after admitting to being concerned in the supply of heroin at Stafford Crown Court on Tuesday, June 9.
Cox was stopped and searched by officers from Staffordshire Police’s major and organised crime proactive team on Tom Smith Way in Rugeley in December last year.
They found an empty Kinder Surprise container, £395 in cash, three wraps of heroin and a mobile phone. Scales were later also seized from an address in the town.
