Man sentenced on drugs charges

Mon, 01 Jun 2015

A Douglas man has been sentenced to three years, nine months and a week for the production, possession and intent to supply controlled drugs - and handling stolen goods.

41-year-old John Gallop appeared before the Court of General Gaol Delivery at Douglas Courthouse last week, namely for the possession with intent to supply Class A drug, heroin.

Alongside that sentence, Gallop had also been found guilty of possessing cannabis, being unlawfully concerned in the production of diazepam and possessing the drug with intent to supply it.

In a separate case, he pleaded guilty to being in possession of a stolen iPod - for which an additional week has been added to his sentence.

Mr Gallop will serve punishment for his crimes in both cases concurrently at the Isle of Man Prison.
