A motorist involved in a crash on the M20 near Aylesford has been jailed after police discovered more than 12,000 LSD hits inside his van.
On 22 July 2020, Kent Police’s Roads Policing Unit responded to reports of erratic driving on the coastbound carriageway near Blue Bell Hill. Officers located Jack Supple’s van stopped against the hard shoulder barrier. The 31-year-old admitted to taking ketamine and was promptly arrested.
During the search, officers found perforated sheets of LSD on the sun visor and in a sports bag on the back seat. A small bag of ketamine was also seized from the passenger footwell. Further searches of Supple’s home uncovered additional LSD sheets and nearly £2,000 in cash hidden inside a bottle.
Supple, from Upper Street, Leeds, Maidstone, was charged with possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply, possession of Class B drugs, and handling criminal property. At Maidstone Crown Court, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years and six months in prison on 23 June 2021.
Detective Constable Tony Hatcher of Tonbridge CID said, “In total, our officers seized 12,342 LSD deals with an estimated street value of almost £21,000. This is a significant quantity of Class A drugs and it is only right Supple is now serving a prison sentence. It is wrong that drug dealers profit from their criminality and we will be seeking confiscation of the cash seized from his home.”
