At Huntingdon Crown Court on Tuesday (13 December), Timbrell was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply class A and cannabis, possession of a bladed article, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
He was also disqualified from driving for two years.
PC James Sims, from the Huntingdon neighbourhood team, said: “Drugs have no place in our community, they fuel crime and exploitation.
“We will continue to pursue and bring to justice those who cause misery in our communities.”
