Bobby Stowers was jailed for 30 months (credit: Essex Police)
Bobby Stowers was found in Grays when officers, acting on intelligence, entered a property in Falcon Avenue, in August 2018.
The wanted man jumped through a glass, first-floor bedroom window before running in the direction of the nearby Manor Way industrial estate.
Officers gave chase but managed to taser, detain and arrest Stowers.
Police found wraps of Class A drugs and other drug-dealing paraphernalia including weighing scales, cutting agent and plastic wrapping in the property he had escaped from.
A mobile phone he discarded whilst being chased also contained evidence of his involvement in the supply of drugs.
Stowers was already wanted in connection with theft and also on a recall to prison.
Sentencing took place at Basildon Crown Court on Friday, 11 October. He pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and jailed for 30 months.
The arrest was part of ‘Operation Raptor’ set up by Essex police to tackle drug and gang-related behaviour.
Investigating officer, PC Jonathan Kemp, of the West Operation Raptor team said: “It was clear from the mobile phone and paraphernalia that we found that Stowers was heavily involved in the supply of Class A drugs.
“Unfortunately for him Operation Raptor were on hand to arrest him and, although he tried his best to escape by jumping from a window, we were right behind him.”
