Dodgy Driving Snares Drug Dealer

A drug-dealer arrested by police on a dangerous driving warrant desperately tried to hide cocaine between his legs at the station.

Reginald Goodhead, 26, of Clifford Drive, Brixton received three years and four months imprisonment.

He pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court to possessing cocaine, with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of MDMA, possession of cannabis and possession of criminal property, namely cash.

In the early hours of November 24, last year, local officers from Coldharbour Ward saw Goodhead parked up in his vehicle in Heritage Close.

His engine was idling and his lights were on and checks by the officers revealed the registered keeper, address and insurance details were very inconsistent.

The decision was made to approach the driver and talk with him.

Goodhead was initially very evasive and only gave his first name.

Checks revealed he was wanted on warrant by Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court for the offences of dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving while uninsured and driving without due care and attention.

Goodhead was arrested at taken into custody.

Once back at Brixton Police Station, Goodhead attempted to conceal drugs in his genitals, but these were discovered upon a further search.

Fast time forensics of the drugs were obtained and his phones were seized and examined with references to the supply of drugs found in them.

He was convicted of the driving offences in his absence and was ordered to pay fines totalling £430.00 and disqualified from driving for six months.
