A drug dealer from Stamford has been jailed after being found with bags of cocaine and cash.
Simon Middleton, from Ryhall Road, was sentenced to three years for possession with intent to supply a controlled Class A drug and supplying a controlled drug. The 45 year old appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday. Officers spotted Middleton when they were patrolling Broad Street in the early hours of Saturday 10th of September back in 2022. He was wanted for assault at the time. He was found with just over 5 grams of cocaine and over £1000 worth of cash which officers say he couldn't account for. He also had on him a disposable mobile phone which is often used for dealing. Police say he was a well known local dealer particularly during the night time economy. They are committed to tackling the problem in the county.
