A DRUG dealer who pleaded guilty to possessing and supplying cocaine has been jailed for 16 months.
Officers from Warwickshire Police’s Serious and Organised Crime team spotted Marius Chioibasu driving a car around Rugby that had connections to drugs activity.
Having watched him carry out several suspected drugs deals across the town, they stopped the car on Butlin Road where they carried out a search of the 50 year-old and his car.
A number of white powder wraps – later found to be cocaine – were found in the car along with just under £1,500 on Chioibasu.
He was arrested and later charged with possession with intent to supply cocaine and acquiring/using/possessing criminal property.
After admitting both charges, he appeared at Warwick Crown Court where he was sentenced to 16 months in prison.
Det Con Matthew Rapkins said: “Chioibasu is a known drugs supplier and we’re glad he’s behind bars.
“We know the misery drugs can cause and we’ll always try to disrupt any activity and bring offenders to justice wherever we can.”
