East Sussex man sentenced for cocaine supply
Christopher Morris will spend six-years behind bars
A man from East Sussex who was stopped by police while carrying up to £400,000 worth of cocaine in his car, is beginning a six-year prison sentence.
Christopher Morris, 42, of Glessing Road, Stone Cross, previously admitted possession with intent to supply and money laundering.
He was stopped on the 15th of December last year by police officers, who also recovered £40,000 in cash.
At his home they found a further quantity of cocaine and several thousands pounds more cash.
Morris claimed to be carrying the drugs and cash under duress for dealers, but was unable to produce any evidence to support this, and had no option but to admit his guilt.
A spokesperson for the Sussex Police Serious Organised Crime Unit, who worked with the SEU officers in the operation, said; "This is another example of colleagues working together to disrupt drugs supply in our communities."
