A former bouncer who set out to make 'easy money' by dealing cocaine has been jailed for two years.

Adeshina Teniola, 27, had large debts when he used his knowledge from working on the door to sell hard drugs.

But after Teniola was stopped in his car on the way to meet a customer last summer he was found to have scores of wraps ready for sale.

Hannah Squire, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court that he was pulled over and spoken to by police shortly before 10pm on Thursday, August 28.

"He seemed nervous throughout, making the officers suspicious. He was asked if he was involved in drug supply. He said he was," she said.

After handing over a bag of powdered cocaine, containing seven deals, his phone was seized and his home address was also searched.

As well as scales they found a further 67 deals of cocaine and cash in two envelopes which he showed them were stored in a footstool.

Miss Squire said he was questioned and made 'full and frank admissions' saying he had been dealing for four to six weeks before being stopped.

"He said all the drugs were his and he intended to sell them, he said he was on his way to meet a customer when he was stopped by the police," she said.

He said he had bought a couple of ounces for about £1,900 and intended to sell it in smaller deals making a profit of about £700.

"He said he was to stop once he made about £4,000 profit and cleared his debts. It was not to be a long term career," she said.

Teniola, of Wainwright Mews, Wroughton, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply.

Rob Ross, defending, said: "It is rare when someone is arrested for an offence such as this for there to be such a forthcoming confession to the police as this man made.

"In other words he has, in his own words, saved a huge amount of time and is still apologising that he had wasted any of their time at all.

"He is a man who had allowed things surrounding his life to get on top of him. Not to put too fine a point on it , took a chance to earn some easy money.

"He had tried to work as a doorman for some time, he also did other jobs. He owed money, not for drugs but as people do these days.

"He had knowledge, probably from working on the door, how easy is was to deal cocaine."

He said he had misused cocaine in the past and after a serious road accident in 2006 he had used some of the compensation he got sensibly and some 'enjoying himself'.

Jailing him Judge Tim Mousley QC said: "On August 28 you were arrested by the police because in your possession you had seven bags of cocaine.

"You had more at home. A total of 74 all bagged up and ready to be sold. You had scales and cash, two phones and the contents of one or both of those revealed content of your drug dealing.

"You told the police your bought cocaine in quantities of about 2oz. You started dealing in cocaine initially through financial motivation. You had started to use cocaine yourself some time in the past."
