Man charged with drug and weapon offences

A man has been charged with drug and weapon offences after we found cocaine, cannabis, a baton and a knuckle duster in Stoke-on-Trent.

Simon Davison, aged 27, of Fegg Hayes, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place, one count of possession with intent to supply cocaine and one count of possession with intent to supply cannabis and cannabis resin.

It comes after proactive officers searched an address in Fegg Hayes, Stoke-on-Trent, on Wednesday (10 July) and found an estimated two-kilograms of cannabis, £1,500-worth of cocaine, an extendable baton and a knuckle duster.

Davison has been bailed ahead of an appearance at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 6 August this year.

Since May last year, we have arrested more than 1,000 people on suspicion of drug and weapon offences as part of our crackdown on serious and organised crime in Staffordshire.
