A drug dealer and addict in Hastings and St Leonards who supplied crack cocaine and heroin has been jailed for nearly three years. Police said Sharon Anne Gould, of Eversfield Place in St Leonards, was arrested in April this year, after officers spotted her taking part in a suspected drugs deal in the Cornwallis Gardens area. The 38-year-old then went to nearby Clifton Court, where police entered and found her in possession of the Class A drugs, as well as £800 cash, scales and drugs paraphernalia. Police said in addition to being jailed, Gould was ordered to pay a victim surcharge and to forfeit the cash, drugs and associated items. PC Brett White said: "We continue to tackle drug-related harm to protect vulnerable people and make our community a safer place. "While Gould, by her own admission, was addicted to drugs at the time she committed these crimes, it did not make her immune the prosecution. "Class A drugs destroy people's lives and contribute heavily to acquisitive and violent crime being committed. "The sentence imposed reflects the seriousness of the offences."
