FORMER bikie boss Toby Mitchell has been sentenced to 20 months in prison after being sprung with large quantities of cocaine and methylamphetamine.
The ex-Bandidos strongman and tattoo parlour owner, 41, had 500g of the illegal drugs stashed in the footwell of a white Range Rover hire car when he was arrested by Federal Police on September 24 last year.
Police also found a set of digital scales white cocaine residue on them in his Docklands apartment.

Mitchell last week pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing a drug of dependence, possessing an illegal baton and possessing drugs while on bail.
He was on bail for assaulting a cyclist in a road-rage incident in Docklands when he was arrested by AFP investigators, who had him under surveillance.
County Court Judge Graeme Hicks said Mitchell had a “reasonably lengthy criminal history” and, in this case, “committed serious crimes.”
“I accept by your pleas of guilty you have shown some remorse for your actions,” Judge Hicks said.
The underworld figure, who has survived two shootings, has already spent 253 days behind bars.
He has also been fined $3400 for possession of the baton and offending while on bail, and must undergo a two-year community corrections order upon his release from prison.
