A MAN who was arrested following a police stop check in Cheshire has been jailed. Dean Clare appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, December 23, where he was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The 38-year-old of Dean Crescent, Orford, had earlier pleaded guilty to possession with intent supply class A (crack cocaine and heroin) and possession of a bladed article. At about 11.15pm on Sunday, October 27, 2019, a Merseyside officer, who was in Warrington dealing with an unrelated matter, noticed Clare acting suspiciously and shining a torch into a garden on Molyneux Avenue. The officer approached Clare and noticed that he appeared to be clutching a sandwich bag containing a number of individually wrapped parcels.
