The 57 year old pleaded guilty to four counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, including crack cocaine and heroin. He was sentenced to four years and six months.

This is to run consecutively to a six-year prison term he is already serving, which he was handed in May this year for causing death and serious injury by driving and drug driving.

On 9 August 2022 Guthrie was involved in a fatal collision, where he was found to be in possession of class A drugs.

Just three weeks after the crash, Guthrie was stopped and failed a roadside drugs test.

Officers also found he had 49 wraps of crack cocaine and 60 wraps of heroin.

Guthrie’s combined sentence is now ten years and six months.
