Drug dealer jailed after high-speed Telford chase
A drug dealer arrested following a high speed chase through Telford streets has been jailed for four years.
Stuart White was convicted of possession of cocaine with a potential street value of £28,000 with intent to supply.
At Shrewsbury Crown Court, 34-year-old White appeared via a video link from prison for a confiscation hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
It heard he made £12,000 from supplying cocaine. Judge Jim Tindal ruled that White's benefit was estimated at £11,860 but his only realisable assets was £260 in cash.
White was arrested in September last year. At the time nearly half a kilogram of cocaine was seized after White's car crashed following a pursuit through Lawley and Dawley by police at speeds up to 60mph in the residential areas.
White, of no fixed abode, had admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply and dangerous driving.
He was given a four-month concurrent sentence for the driving offence and disqualified for a year.
The court heard the offences were committed just a month after White was released from prison for a domestic assault and while he was on licence after being jailed in 2014 for supplying cocaine.
