A SUSPECTED drug dealer also accused of trying to speed away from police has pleaded not guilty to two charges.

Paul Goodman, of St Marys Crescent, Hendon, was stopped in Willesdon Green last Wednesday after being approached by officers from Brent police's safer neighbourhoods team.

The 39-year-old was arrested at the scene and taken to a north London police station for questioning.

He was charged on June 4 with possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply and failing to stop for police.

Mr Goodman pleaded not guilty at Brent Magistrates Court on the same day and is due to reappear at the court on July 2.
