Drugs Arrest in Stevenage

A 23 year old man of no fixed address has been arrested and charged after he was stopped by Operation Scorpion Officers in Stephenson Mews in Stevenage, on Tuesday, January 18.

At around 1230pm Jeremine Wilson was spotted by the officers, who were on routine patrol, behaving suspiciously in a car.

As they approached, he reversed the car into the police vehicle injuring two of the officers.

He was subsequently arrested, and following a search of the vehicle was charged with:

Possession with intent to supply Class A drugs - cocaine

Two offences of assaulting a police officer

Dangerous driving

Driving whilst disqualified

Driving with no insurance

Wilson was remanded in custody and appeared at Stevenage Magistrates' court this morning (20 January 2022), where he was remanded until his next appearance on 21 February at St Albans Crown Court.

Investigating officer DC Simon Hancock said: "If you think drug related crime is happening in your area, please report it. This information will help us to target drug dealing hotspots in the town.

"Any information we receive is always reviewed and may link to an ongoing investigation, so we might not take action immediately.

"In order to secure a conviction, we need to investigate the crimes thoroughly and this can take a bit of time, but please keep the information coming."
