UK: Cannabis smuggler behind bars
---
A FATHER-OF-TWO who tried to smuggle cannabis into a jail by dropping it
into a cup of tea has ended up behind bars himself.
Thomas Gilliland, of High Street, St Mary Cray, was visiting his cousin
Jamie Chapman, an inmate at Highdown Prison, Sutton.
Gilliland was filmed on CCTV slipping 8g of cannabis into a cup of tea.
Police arrested him and when officers searched his car outside the jail
they found 7.5g of cannabis resin.
On October 18, Guildford Crown Court heard Gilliland had been doing a
favour to his cousin and did not stand to make any profit. The drugs in
the car were for his own use.
Gilliland, aged 35, pleaded guilty to possessing a Class C drug with
intent to supply and possessing a Class C drug.
