“A DJ from Aldershot who tried to sell cocaine to an undercover police officer at this year’s GuilFest music festival has been jailed. Geoffrey Lemington Mitchell, 40, of Beech Close, was volunteering in the Funky End Dance Tent on July 17 during this year’s three-day event when he told the officer he could “sort her out” with the drug.
At Guildford Crown Court last Friday (October 22), Mitchell pleaded guilty to one count of supplying a class A drug. He also admitted a second charge of possession of cocaine but denied he intended to supply the drug.
Prosecutor Jill Beale said: “An undercover female officer working at the festival started chatting with the defendant and another man, Wesley Lazarevic, also from Aldershot. “When they were within a restricted area within one of the tents, Mitchell offered to sort her out with some drugs.” The female officer, who called herself Tina, handed over £50 for 0.87g of cocaine, and Mitchell was arrested shortly afterwards. When police carried out a search, a second wrap of 0.68g of cocaine was found in his trousers. Mitchell has previous convictions for possession of a controlled substance and burglary, and was given a drug treatment and testing order in 2001 for possession of a class A drug…”
“…You say you took two wraps for your own personal use, used one wrap and you noticed others being arrested around you, so wanted to dispose of that wrap. To do so you chose to sell it.” He said that the offence of supplying drugs was so serious that it warranted a jail term. Lazarevic is expected to serve half of his two-year sentence in prison and the remainder on licence.”

he got 2 years!!!! I assume that is to justify the cost of the undercover work, he has a bad record or just bad luck. 2 years for selling one wrap!
