WHEN most low-level drug dealers have 56g of cannabis in a plastic glove stuffed down the front of their pants, the last thing they want to do is attract attention.
The same could be said if they had cocaine and ecstasy in plastic Kinder Surprise eggs laying around their home along with replica pistols, slingshots, illegal fireworks, an extendible baton and $1155 in cash suspected of being the proceeds of crime.
Oh, and who could forget being covered in tattoos with a stolen Harley Davison motorcycle in the back shed.
But Mitchell Mohan is not your average low-level drug dealer.
The 25-year-old was stopped by police after doing a `wheelie’ on a motorbike at Hamlyn Terrace in January last year.
When he reached into his pants officers cautioned the heavily tattooed outlaw motorcycle gang member before he said it was just a bit of “cannabis” and pulled out a plastic glove.
Just over a week later police observed Mohan do an eight second burnout at a roundabout at Warnervale in a high powered Ford Falcon XR8, which he was not eligible to drive on his P-plates.
When officers pulled him over they saw his two-year-old son in a child seat in the back next to an unrestrained dog.
“My young bloke started saying ‘burnout, burnout daddy’,” Mohan told police.
“So I said ‘what do you do, what do you do?’, you gotta keep him happy. So I just did a burnout. He loves burnouts.”
On February 1 last year police conducted a search warrant at his Halloran home off Sparks Rd where they found 12.68g of cocaine and 6.18g of MDMA hidden in Kinder Surprise eggs, the cash, replica pistols, fireworks and other weapons.
Mohan eventually pleaded guilty to 19 traffic, drugs and weapons offences in the Local Court and was today sentenced to a non-parole period of one year and four months jail in Gosford District Court.
The court heard the stolen motorcycle had been left in the shed by someone else and the drugs were destined for his and his friends’ personal use at an upcoming music festival.
His barrister said his father had offered him a place to stay, the prospect of employment and that Mohan wanted to resume his relationship with his young son.
However Judge Michael Bozic said he had a lengthy criminal record, was a member of the Rebels — although he had “distanced” himself from the motorcycle gang since being remanded in custody — and had longstanding drug and mental health issues.
Judge Bozic said he had “guarded prospects of his rehabilitation” before sentencing him to a total sentence of two years and four months jail.
With time served he will be eligible for release on May 31.
