A man has been jailed for almost seven years after he admitted drug supply offences.
Gary Long, 35, of Eagle Dene, Liverpool, was sentenced to six years and eight months at Carlisle Crown Court today.
He was found with £250,000-worth of cocaine after police stopped his vehicle on the M6.
Officers made the stop because Long was driving needlessly in the middle lane travelling northbound on the M6 between junctions 39 and 40.
There was a strong smell of cannabis and Long was detained for a Misuse of Drugs Act search, along with his vehicle.
During a search of the vehicle, two large blocks wrapped in brown tape were found hidden within a seat and Long was arrested.
Upon a further search, another block was uncovered in another seat.
