A drug dealer who tried to leg it from police after they spotted a stash of Class A drugs shoved down his trousers has been locked up.
David Onigbanjo, 27, was stopped by officers on patrol in Mansfield Road, Arnold, on March 6, 2026, after they followed his Volkswagen Golf, which had earlier been seen speeding.
But instead of quietly complying, Onigbanjo got out of the car and challenged officers, even admitting he was carrying a large amount of cash and two mobile phones.
He agreed to a search – but things quickly unravelled.
When officers noticed a suspicious bundle hidden in his jogging bottoms, it appeared reality hit.
Onigbanjo suddenly bolted.
He attempted to scramble over a nearby hedge in a desperate bid to escape, but officers dragged him back before he could get away.
The bundle was recovered – and it contained more than 80 wraps of heroin and cocaine.
Onigbanjo, of Chestnut Grove, Nottingham, later pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He was jailed for four years and three months at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, June 1.
PC Jack Brumpton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “While he was being searched, it seemed to suddenly dawn on Onigbanjo that he had a bundle of Class A drugs on him.
“He thought he could outrun officers but we quickly caught up with him.
