A drug dealer was snared when his erratic driving him brought him to the attention of police and he was found to have narcotics worth up to £48,000 - including cocaine and cannabis sweets.
Dryden Fisher was driving on the West Road, in Newcastle, in February last year when police officers became concerned at the fact he was tailgating them in snowy and icy conditions. They illuminated a 'keep your distance' sign in the back of the police vehicle but Fisher sped up and overtook them.
Concerned at his driving, the officers pulled him over and noticed his breath and car smelled strongly of cannabis. A search of the car revealed 35 bags of cannabis sweets 140g of cannabis bush in 40 deals and at the police station he was found to have two packets of cocaine and £885 cash.
