A dozy drug dealer was caught after being found apparently asleep at the wheel of his car at traffic lights, a court heard.
Members of the public alerted police after seeing a black Audi stopped at traffic lights, in the middle of the road on Bridge Street in Milnrow, Rochdale.
Rhys Wild, 26, had his head on the wheel of the car, which had its lights on and the key in the ignition.
It looked as if he was asleep or unconscious, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
Prosecuting, Ellen Shaw said Wild was 'unsteady on his feet' and appeared 'confused' after officers arrived following the incident, in March 2018.
He didn't smell of alcohol, so police believed he was under the influence of something else, she said. Wild told police he had taken codeine for a cough.
When police searched his car they found cannabis, said to be worth between £180 and £360, and cocaine thought to be worth £925.
Two mobile phones were also found, with text messages discovered which related to the dealing of cannabis.
Defending, Dan Gaskell said that Wild has since 'turned his life around', living with his partner and their child.
He said that at the time of the incident, Wild had been diagnosed with a medical condition and was 'struggling to cope mentally'.
The court was told that Wild began to take cocaine and sold cannabis to fund his habit.
Mr Gaskell said that Wild had taken a 'significant amount of codeine' prior to the incident, but that he is now abstinent from drugs.
Wild, of Beswicke Royds Street, Rochdale, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine and possession with intent to supply cannabis.
Sentencing, Judge Angela Nield said Wild had committed the offences at a time when his life had been 'turned upside down by various events'.
"You present today for sentence in a very different situation," the judge said.
The judge said any offence involving drug dealing is serious because of the 'untold harm that drugs can do to any number of innocent people'.
But Judge Neild said it would be 'counter productive' to send Wild to jail, given his ill-health is being managed and that there was a prospect of rehabilitation.
He was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
