Michael Arundel Teesside

Michael Arundel was jailed for three years when he appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
The court heard how Arundel was arrested after being seen acting suspiciously in the street. The 27-year-old appeared agitated and was putting his hand down the back of his trousers, the court heard.
A strip search revealed he had a package hidden inside him. Before the package could be retrieved by police, Arundel pulled it out and placed it in his mouth.
Officers had to restrain him to prevent him from swallowing it, said prosecutor Patricia Mancina.
When the package was examined it was found to be a plastic bag containing 19 wraps of heroin.
Arundel, of Stamford Street, Middlesbrough, admitted possessing the Class A drug with intent to supply on the basis that he was holding the drugs for somebody else.
