Kettering drug dealer Connor Holland jailed after being caught with cocaine

Connor Holland, of no fixed address but of Kettering, has been given 20 months in prison after admitting a string of offences at Northampton Crown Court.

The 29-year-old was before Recorder Stuart Sprawson to plead guilty to theft, assaulting an emergency worker, having a knife in a public place, cannabis possession, and cocaine possession with intent to supply as well as a public order offence.

The court was told how Holland was stopped in Pavilion Drive, Northampton on June 8 where he assaulted a police officer. On the same date he was also found to be in possession of a knife in St Giles Street. And again on June 8 he was found to be in possession of cannabis and of cocaine with intent to supply it.

Holland also pleaded guilty to stealing laundry detergent to the value of £125 belonging to Co-Op in Newton Road, Wollaston on May 6 as well as using threatening words or behaviour toward a victim in Corby on May 31.

Recorder Sprawson imprisoned him for 20 months and ordered to forfeiture and destruction of the drugs and knife.
