Joseph Stewart, 36, from Doxey, Stafford, was stopped by the Force's major and organised crime proactive team in a Range Rover at 2pm on Foregate Street, Stafford, on Wednesday (September 4) last year.
He was in the driver’s seat when the vehicle was searched. Heroin, crack cocaine and a mobile phone were found.
At Stafford Crown Court on Friday (March 14) he was given an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, and possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.
He was also ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and pay a £187 fine.
Stewart also tested positive following a drug wipe and was banned from driving for three years at Cannock Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (March 12) after he admitted driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit.
