A Paget man?s decision to throw crack cocaine down his toilet during a raid proved to be his dirty undoing when Police pried open a cesspit to find the drugs.

Terrence Cyril Webb, 41, of South Shore Road, was sentenced to three years imprisonment yesterday in Magistrates? Court after pleading guilty to having 64 pieces of crack cocaine which he intended to sell.

Police went to Webb?s home last April and found him running into the bathroom naked where he disposed of the drugs, finding several pieces later when they opened the cesspit.

Crack cocaine was also found in empty film canisters hidden in his kitchen and bedroom.

Webb, who had three previous convictions for possessing drugs with intent to supply, told Police the drugs were ?for his customers?.

Webb, represented by Mark Pettingill, was also fined $350 for possessing 1.69 grams of cannabis.
