A doctor's son has been jailed after he was caught pedding drugs on the streets of Newcastle.
Police were on duty in Fenham when they smelled cannabis and their attention was drawn to Melusi Gamede, who was standing on a street corner. Kevin Wardlaw, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: "On seeing the officer he became very nervous and was touching his waistband of his shorts. It was quite obvious he was concealing something and he was dealing drugs."
He was searched and ten bags of Spice were recovered from him, along with £2,000 in cash. His home was searched and further drugs were found.
