A drug dealer "spat out" a pack of wraps of crack cocaine and heroin after being arrested by a police officer who spotted him rummaging in bushes.
Daniel White was apprehended after a patrol caught sight of him “clambering in undergrowth” near a railway line running behind the Beechwood estate and close to his home address on November 23. Peter Hussey, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, said that as White was detained he "spat out" a package of drugs, which were found to be 16 wraps of crack cocaine and six of heroin.
White, 33, also had £234 in cash and an Alcatel phone with him, in addition to a “tick list” at home. The officer searched the “undergrowth” below the footbridge and found another 13 wraps of heroin.
