A blundering drug dealer dropped cocaine in front of cops – but still insisted: “I haven’t done nothing.”
Teon Francis has now been jailed after exposing a stash of narcotics right in front of police officers.
The 46-year-old was spotted by BTP’s County Lines Taskforce plain clothes officers inside a Tube station.

Francis was suspiciously avoiding uniformed officers and tried to find an exit from Stratford station, London.
Cops then stopped the suspect from Glenloch Road, Enfield, due to his behaviour and reluctance to answer questions about his travel plans.
The officers attempted to detain and search the suspect – who actively pleaded his innocence whilst lashing out at the cops.
However, during the scuffle, a stash of cocaine dropped onto the floor, as reported by Need To Know.
Bodycam footage of the arrest on May 28 last year shows Francis then stating: “I haven’t done nothing wrong.
“I haven’t even done nothing, man.”
Francis was immediately arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He was also found with two mobile phones – one being a burner phone, which breached his criminal behaviour order (CBO).
Officers searched the dealer’s home, where cannabis, two burner-style phones, and small wraps of white crystal and powder were found.
On 12 February, he was jailed for five years and eight months at a hearing in Inner London Crown Court.
Despite previous claims that he had done “nothing wron”, Francis pleaded guilty to multiple offences.
They included Possession with Intent to Supply Class A Drugs (cocaine) and breaching a CBO by having more than one mobile phone.
Investigating officer PC James Ng said: “Our eagle-eyed officers can tell straight away when criminals are avoiding them and are ready to engage with anyone behaving suspiciously.
“Despite his initial claims of innocence, Francis was left with no choice but to admit his guilt after the Class A drugs he was carrying spilt out in full view of arresting officers.
“Despite this blunder, Francis remained defiant and maintained his innocence even while surrounded by the drugs that had spilt from his coat.
“Anyone seeking to ply this evil trade using the rail network should know we have eyes everywhere and it’s just a matter of time before we catch up with you.”
