Underneath the s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">eat in a plastic lunchbox was cannabis packed in small plastic bags. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Police counted 32 baggies containing a total of 70.1 grams of cannabis.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Searching Javadi-Zadeh&#8217;s home in Broadway, police found a further \u00a3485 cash in a microwave oven, and a black Nokia phone with contact addresses in Cardiff and &#8220;drug dealing texts&#8221; saved on it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A second phone was found under the driver&#8217;s seat of his car and a third was attached to the window screen.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first Javadi-Zadeh said he had been given the cannabis by a friend to repay a debt. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said the money in the microwave was payment for work as a handyman and he had forgotten to put the knife back in his toolbox. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Judge Rees QC sentenced Mr Javadi-Zadeh to 12 months in prison, eight for possession with intent to supply and four for carrying a knife without good reason. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">John Warren, prosecuting, said: \u201cHe was distributing drugs in student areas of Cardiff. He had a knife in the front of the car with him as part of his activities in selling drugs.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Huw Bowden, defending, said: \u201cHe had the knife due to his trade as a handyman, and it was not meant to be used for violence but left there absentmindedly. He is effectively a delivery driver and regrets getting involved with people who told him he could make easy money. He has no previous convictions.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Judge Rees QC told Javadi-Zadeh: \u201cIt is quite clear you are a street dealer. The amount of cannabis makes it clear that you were part of a commercial operation. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEven though your role was dealing with customers, parliament has made it clear that the courts should not tolerate those who carry knives in public places.
