A jury at Oxford Crown Court today cleared Phillip Pledge of intent to sell prescription painkillers.

Nearly 500 dihydrocodeine tablets were seized in a police raid on his flat, in Evenlode Tower, Blackbird Leys, along with 610g of "skunk" cannabis.

The jury has yet to reach a decision on whether he planned to sell the cannabis.

Pledge, 38, denied intent to supply either drug.

The trial continues.
