Man jailed for drug offences in Stafford
It happened last year
A man has been jailed for drug offences, after officers carried out a stop-and-search in Stafford last year.
Adam Clowes, aged 24, of Stafford, was handed a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence at Stafford Crown Court on Friday (26 September) after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine.
Officers had stopped Clowes on Lammascote Road on 7 August last year and a search was carried out, with phones and cash recovered. A further search of an associated address revealed more cash and phones.
This followed a previous search in September 2023 which saw officers carry out a foot chase following a suspected drug-deal involving Clowes, with seized phones revealing his involvement in a county drugs line.
Superintendent Victoria Downing, of the major and organised crime unit, said: “Clowes attempted to evade officers when he was stopped in Stafford in August last year.
“Searches revealed his involvement in the supply of class A drugs and I’m pleased the judge issued Clowes with a lengthy prison term for his offending.
“We will continue to do all we can to crack down on the supply of illegal drugs in Staffordshire in order to protect our communities from these harmful substances.”
