Weymouth drug dealer who hid 100 wraps of cocaine inside his body jailed

A drug dealer who operated in Weymouth has been jailed for 5 years.

29-year-old Jebb James Green from Lewisham, London, was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on Monday (14 September) after admitting two charges of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply.

At around 5pm on Wednesday 10 June 2020 an officer on patrol in the Greenhill area saw Green involved in an exchange with a known Class A drug user.

Green was located in a public toilet a short time later and was detained by the officer for a search.

He was taken to Weymouth police station where officers established items had been concealed in his bottom.

It took him 190 hours to pass the drugs in Police custody.

Police recovered three packages, containing 100 wraps of cocaine and more than 50 wraps of heroin.

Detective Inspector Scott Johnson, of Weymouth CID, said:

“Green’s attempt to conceal the drugs resulted in considerable police resources being taken up as he had to remain under constant observations until the items could be recovered.

"Dorset Police will make full use of the legislation available to us to ensure that those concealing dangerous drugs in such a way are detained in order that they can be recovered and to prevent further distribution.

“I hope this case shows that drug dealers who think they can beat the system by concealing their illegal substances will be dealt with strongly by the court.

“We recognise the detrimental impact drug-related activity has on our communities and are committed to doing all we can to disrupt the supply chain.”
