Bestwood drug dealer jailed after cocaine found at his home

A Bestwood drug dealer police described as a ‘dangerous man’ has been jailed for three years.

Jamie Carter, 44, was arrested after officers found cocaine, a cutting agent, phones, deal bags and scales at his home on Wyton Close in April.

He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs and was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (September 20).

Detective Sergeant Simon Pearson said: “Really pleased that we were able to prove that Carter had been in possession of these drugs and intended on supplying them to the local community. This takes a dangerous man off the streets and we will continue to tackle these issues across Nottinghamshire and ensure offenders are locked up for such offences.”
