POLICE found about £2,500 of drugs in the home of a disk jockey from Worcester, a court heard.

Steven Ramsey, who has played in nightclubs around the country, was told he was lucky not to go to jail for being in possession of such a large variety of drugs.

Prosecutor Peter Tooke said police obtained a warrant to search Ramsey's home in St Mary's Court, Sansome Walk, on June 26 where they found: l 10 bottles of LSD in liquid form valued at £2,000.

l 175 grams (6.17 ounces) of cannabis worth £100.

l Three pieces of perforated card creating 17 squares of paper impregnated with LSD worth £34.

l Enough MDMA to make between 95 and 130 ecstasy pills worth between £190 and £260.

l 0.02 grams of DMT - a hallucinogenic drug never found by police in the Worcester area before.

l 0.54 grams (0.019 ounces) ketamine worth £20 in small glass bottle.

l 78 tablets of a class C drug equivalent to valium worth between £39 and £78.

l Three sets of electronic scales.

l A mobile phone with evidence of messages referring to drug dealing.

l £1,343 in cash.

Ramsey admitted possession of a class A drug with intent to supply, possession of a class C drug with intent to supply, three charges of possessing class A drugs, three of possessing class C drugs, and one of supplying class C drugs to persons unknown, when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Friday.

Mr Tooke said: "When in interview Ramsey admitted he supplied a small circle of friends with cannabis.

"He kept some for himself and some of the cash and proceeds. He said he supplied cannabis to about seven or eight people."

In mitigation Michael Aspinall said Ramsey, aged 28, had no previous convictions. "This is a man of previous good character who had a voracious appetite for drugs," he said.

"He wasn't pedalling drugs in the sense he was out on the street. He had the contacts because of his dj-ing position to obtain drugs and buy them for his friends with their money.

"He was effectively being used as a go-between." Mr Aspinall said it was at that time Ramsey had thought about committing suicide because his partner had left him for one of his friends soon after the birth of their child.

Mr Aspinall said Ramsey became vulnerable and looked for ways to avoid confronting what had happened to him.

"He's not a bad person, he's a foolish person who has done a bad thing but no more than that," he said.

Judge Richard Rundell sentenced Ramsey to 12 months in prison which he then suspended for two years, a community order to do 200 hours unpaid work, and a supervision requirement for two years.

He also ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs and scales.
