A man caught with crack cocaine and heroin after a car chase in Fazeley has been jailed for more than four years.
He was sentenced at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after pleading guilty to all offences.
Ward was arrested on June 6 after being pursued in Fazeley. Driving a stolen Mercedes on false plates, he spotted a police vehicle and started to drive erratically and reaching speeds of 60mph on Two Gates in Tamworth. He crashed into a lamppost and ran off and was seen to throw a plastic tub with 28 wraps of crack cocaine and 21 wraps of heroin.
Sgt Gary Harborow said: “We welcome this sentence handed down by the courts to this individual who has committed a number of offences including possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
“The message is clear: we will not tolerate drug-dealing and the misery it brings in Staffordshire. We will bring you before the courts.”
