A south Essex drug dealer has been jailed for more than three years after he admitted handling cocaine and cannabis.
Brett Suckling, 51, of Rookery View, Grays, was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Friday (July 17).
The court heard Suckling had admitted three separate drug dealing charges.
On January 13, he was in possession of a Class A drug – cocaine – with intent to supply it.
Additionally, he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine on the same date.
The third charge he accepted was cultivating cannabis, a Class B drug, after being caught with multiple plants.
Recorder David Stevens sentenced Suckling to 28 months for each of the Class A charges, to run concurrently with one another.
He then added 12 months consecutive for the cannabis charge.
The total sentence was therefore 40 months.
