A large quantity of crack cocaine was found at the home of a 56-year-old man who had been used by people to store the drugs for them. Timothy Rowan, of Wheatfields Road, St Ann's, had been keeping four ounces of the drug in a safe at his home, Nottingham Crown Court heard.
But when he realised someone had accessed the safe and taken some of the drugs out, he got into such a state he took an overdose. This led to an ambulance attending Rowan's address.
He pointed out the drugs to police who went to help the ambulance crew on May 24, 2020. The drugs were seized as well as his phone. Analysis showed Rowan had been involved in supplying powdered cocaine to a small number of users.
