Brendon Holland was stopped by plain-clothed police officers on Oxford Street, Ripley, in June, who conducted a stop and search and found a collection of drugs and a weapon.
The 30-year-old, of no fixed address, was found to be holding 129 wraps of drugs, including 25 wraps of diamorphine and 104 wraps of cocaine mixed with phenacetin. Holland was also in possession of £60, a mobile phone, and a machete.
