Dope!: Drug Dealer Trapped By His Own Joint

A dopey drug dealer, caught smoking a joint outside the nation's busiest railway station, has been locked-up after 25 heroin wraps were found on him.

Dexter Sharpe, 38, also had over £2,000 cash and is now starting a prison sentence of five-and-a-half years.

Investigating officer DC Emma Martin said: “Sharpe’s sentence reflects the severity of his crime and how serious the courts regard such offending.

“Drugs are a blight on communities and this is yet another example of our intervention removing more drugs that were destined for the streets.

“Anyone involved in the transportation of drugs on the rail network should beware – we have eyes everywhere - you will be caught and face the consequences.”

Sharpe, of Timsbury Walk, Wandsworth pleaded guilty to possession, with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of cannabis.

Inner London Crown Court heard Sharpe was stopped by officers and detained for a search after he was caught smoking a joint outside Clapham Junction station on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.

He was arrested and while in custody an amount of cannabis was also found among his belongings and the heroin was estimated to have a street value of £500.

In police interview Sharpe claimed an incriminating mobile phone phone, the cash and heroin did not belong to him, but refused to explain how he came to be in possession of them.
