Williams, 20, of Earlmead Road, London, has denied possessing crack cocaine and heroin with intent supply on March 19 but admits possessing cannabis and a knife.

The court that police officers followed a car because of the way it was being driven and when it stopped in Lindsey Way, Stowmarket a man carrying a rucksack got out and ran off towards Lavenham Way.

Although officers didn't find the man they found a rucksack containing drugs, a knife and documents belonging to Williams.
