A man has been jailed for drug offences in Aylesbury.
Daniel Forde, aged 24, of Intalbury Avenue, Aylesbury, was sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison at Aylesbury Crown Court on Wednesday 15 November.
Forde pleaded guilty to one count each of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A, namely cocaine, being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of class A, namely cocaine, dangerous driving and possession of criminal property at the same hearing.
Shortly before 3pm on 16 August this year, officers saw Forde conduct a suspected drug deal in his car on Mount Pleasant.
Officers attempted to stop Forde but he drove off, barging his way past and clipping an unmarked police car to make his escape.
Forde then returned to his home address where officers attempted to detain him once again.
Forde made off from officers on foot and was struck by a car as he ran across a road, but he got back up and continued to run from the police before being arrested.
Officers then searched his address and found £18,300-worth of cocaine and £16,626 in cash.
Forde was charged the following day.
Investigating officer PC Gary Ratcliffe, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “We continue to tackle drug supply, offering no respite for offenders.
“I hope this conviction sends yet another clear message and reminder that if you are involved in the supply of drugs, you will be arrested, charged and sent to prison.”
