Feizha Hussein, who was found fast asleep in the Vauxhall Vectra in a Swansea street, was jailed for three years
A drug dealer who fell asleep in his car surrounded by heroin, cocaine and cannabis has been jailed for three years.
Prosecutor Craig Jones told Swansea Crown Court Feizha Hussein was awoken by police when he fell fast asleep in his Vauxhall Vectra in Western Street, Swansea, in January this year.
Mr Jones said: “At around 7.30am on January 9 police got a call that a man appeared to be asleep in his car in Swansea.
'I found the bag'
“When they went there they found he was still asleep with the engine of the Vauxhall Vectra still running.
“Police woke him up and spoke to him and noticed a package of vegetable matter (later found to be cannabis) on the passenger seat next to him and a smoking pipe on the central console of the vehicle.”
Mr Jones said the 24-year-old told the police initially: “I found the bag but I have started smoking the cannabis inside it.”
Possession of cannabis, heroin, and crack cocaine
The court heard when the car Hussein was found in was examined small amounts of heroin and crack cocaine were also found along with a mobile telephone and £200 in cash.
Hussein, of Draycot Avenue, Birmingham, would later admit to possession of cannabis, heroin, and crack cocaine with intent to supply.
Judge Keith Thomas, who heard the Vauxhall Vectra Hussein had been found asleep in had been “crushed” because no-one claimed it after 28 days, handed Hussein a three-year jail sentence and ordered the forfeiture of the £200 and the mobile phone found in the car.
Prosecutor Mr Jones said when the Nokia mobile phone was analysed by South Wales Policeit was found to contain texts appearing to relate to various drug deals.
He said Hussein was acting at the level of a street dealer and had been sent to Swansea by others to sell drugs in the city from the Birmingham area.
The court heard Hussein tried to claim he lived at an address in Birchtree Close, Sketty, Swansea, but police found he had no connection with the area.
He continued to claim he had a link to Swansea, saying he had a girlfriend in the city, but police could find nothing to substantiate his story.
Andrew Evans, defending, said Hussein got involved with selling drugs due to his addiction to Class A substances.
He said: “He came to Swansea under the direction of others and the vehicle he was in was not bought by him.”
Mr Evans said that “rather refreshingly” the defendant was now free of drug addiction and had begun to realise the effect his habit had been having on him and his family.

He admitted possessed 3,642 still indecent images of children aged between eight and 17 between November 2011 and February this year – 79 at the most serious category A, 1,486 category B and 2,077 category C.
Holland - who wrote the book Haunted Wales - also admitted possessing on January 31 last year 41 indecent images of children – 13 category A, 24 category B and four category C.
The defendant admitted three charges of making indecent images and three charges of making indecent movies by downloading them from the Internet.
He also admitted two charges of possessing extreme images – portraying sexual activity between a person and a horse.
His barrister Oliver King said that Holland accepted full responsibility for the offences.
Holland admitted he 'had a problem' as he entered guilty pleas
He would like the opportunity to be assessed for his suitability to be placed on a specialist course.
Mr King said that his client appreciated that there were a number of class A material but he had taken the first step towards admitting that he was looking at such material and that he had a problem.
Judge Rhys Rowlands agreed that the case should be adjourned for reports and said that the outcome would either be custody or the programme.
He had pleaded guilty which was important and that would reduce any further sentence, whatever that was.

James Lee Wilkinson was jailed for three years and nine months
BYELWYN ROBERTS
James Lee Willkinson, of Weston Rhyn, Oswestry, refused to name the accomplice who helped him to steal cigarettes and cash
One of two men who staged a terrifying robbery at a North Wales petrol station in the early hours has today been jailed for three years and nine months.
James Lee Wilkinson, 23, who had previous convictions for 23 offences, refused to name his accomplice.
Mold Crown Court heard they struck at 3.30am on September 11 at the Esso garage at Rhostyllen near Wrexham.
The lone staff member served Wilkinson, of Ashlands Road, Weston Rhyn, Oswestry, but was then approached by the unknown accomplice, who had a hammer.
The pair took the staff member into the office, where they demanded that he open the safe.
The victim told them he was unable to do so, but one of the men managed to open a small safe.
They also disabled the CCTV before leaving with 200 packets of cigarettes and cash to the value of £2,470, said prosecuting barrister Sarah Morgan.
Judge Niclas Parry told Wilkinson, who appeared at his preliminary hearing via video link from Altcourse Prison in Liverpool, that it was “a terrifying incident”.
He said: “It was 3.30am when you, with another man who you refused to name, targeted a vulnerable service station occupied, as you would have known, by one man.
“He begged you not to do anything stupid because he had a child.”
Ms Morgan told how the defendant drove up to the petrol pumps and was recognised by the staff member, who released the fuel when the defendant gave him the thumbs up.
The defendant entered the shop and bought a drink but, as he was paying, the victim became aware of another man by his side with a claw hammer.
Wilkinson told him to “leave the f***ing till open” and began to empty the till.
The second man with the hammer asked him to open the safe, and eventually opened the smaller safe and took some money.
The victim called the police despite threats not to do so, and was able to give officers a partial registration number.
