Jerushan Vasavthan, of Ashfield, Stantonbury, Milton Keynes, was sentenced on Thursday, February 6 following a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court.
He pleaded guilty to one count each of the following:
Possession of a controlled drug of Class B – cannabis
Being in charge of a vehicle with a proportion of specified controlled drugs above the specified limit
Possession with intent to supply Class A drugs namely cocaine
Possession with intent to supply Class A drugs namely heroin.
On October 1 2024, officers from Thames Valley Police were called to a car park in Stantonbury after reports of the smell of cannabis coming from a vehicle.
They attended and found Vasavthan sitting in the car with the ignition on, with a strong smell of cannabis.
He was arrested and taken into custody.
While in custody he has been searched and nearly 100 wraps of cocaine and heroin were found on his person.
Vasavthan was remanded and charged on November 4, 2024.
He was jailed for five years and seven months.
Sergeant Tyrone Powell, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “Jerushan Vasavthan has rightly been convicted and jailed for serious offences.
“When he was arrested he had been smoking cannabis which would’ve impaired his ability to drive, which could’ve had disastrous consequences for other motorists and members of the public.
“We will always take action to remove such individuals from the road.
“I am satisfied that the stop we made on Vasavthan, also allowed him to be prosecuted for drug dealing offences.”
“The work of Milton Keynes CID meant that a drug dealer was taken off the streets.
“We will continue to work proactively with our colleagues in order to bring offenders to justice and support our communities.
“We would ask members of the public to keep providing intelligence to us which assists us in taking action against offenders such as Vasavthan.”
“If you have information or intelligence you can provide it through our online pages.”
