Dylan Wagg, prosecuting, said Wellsby had been stopped by officers in the Mount Street area of Shrewsbury on January 9.

He was handcuffed, and was said to be resisting when officers search him and found snap bags containing 4.5g of cocaine, a Louis Vuitton wallet containing £450 in cash, and an iPhone.
