Aquil Choudry, 25, of Durham Avenue, Sneinton, has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis, with intent to supply.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (20 February), he was also sentenced to a further 13 months in prison, to be served consecutively, after breaching a previous suspended sentence for conspiracy to supply cannabis.
Choudry was stopped by officers from the knife crime team in Clifton on 19 January. After searching him and his car, officers found a stash of drugs hidden behind the dashboard. He initially denied all knowledge of the drugs, but due to an overwhelming amount of evidence gathered throughout the investigation, he changed his plea to guilty.
PC Tom Andrews, of the Knife Crime Team, said “This strong sentence by the judge shows that drug supply will not be tolerated in Nottingham. Choudry claimed to be out delivering takeaway food, when in fact he was using this as a ruse to get around and supply drugs. Choudry was doing this whilst on a suspended sentence for similar matters, showing his complete disregard and lack of respect for the law. The knife crime team targets those most likely to be involved in knife offences, which through our extensive research and consultation are often intrinsically linked to drugs.”
