'His plan was foiled at the Creamfields gates before he even had a chance'

George Chapman was stopped at the gates of the Daresbury festival as he tried to get in on Thursday, August 25, 2022, Cheshire Police reports. Officers searched him and found a stash of pills and a snap bag of white powder.

The 25-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs. He was released under investigation as tests were carried out.After the drugs were revealed to be MDMA and cocaine, Chapman was subsequently charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs in April 2023. He pleaded guilty and was jailed for three years at Chester Crown Court yesterday .

Police said his 'ignorance' landed him with the jail term. Following the sentencing, DC Neil Fleming said: "Chapman was under the illusion that he could travel to Cheshire, supplied with illegal drugs, and go about his weekend undetected. "His plan was foiled by our officers, who stopped him before he even had chance to enter the festival. His ignorance has landed him with a three year prison sentence, where he can take the time to contemplate his actions and ask himself if it was worth it.

"Cheshire Police, along with event organisers and security staff, work extremely hard to ensure that Creamfields remains a safe and positive experience for all festivalgoers. We have seen the irrevocable damage illegal drugs can cause, particularly during the festival period, and those attempting to smuggle them into the event will be put before the courts and dealt with accordingly."
