A COCAINE dealer who used a fake name and identity documents to try and fool the police has been jailed for more than three and-a-half years. Florjan Hidri used fake documents in the name of Alexandru Buculut after being arrested in Great Baddow in April on suspicion of drugs offences. But Essex Police were able to uncover his lie and prove the documents had been falsely obtained. Hidri, of no fixed address, admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis, perverting the course of justice and possession of false documents at Chelmsford Crown Court on Thursday. The 27-year-old was sentenced to three and-a-half years in prison for the drug offences and a further three months for perverting the course of justice.
