Downes admitted he had intended to supply the drugs
A Guernsey fisherman has been sentenced to four years and three months in jail for intending to supply a Class B drug.
Clinton Downes, 32, admitted the offence when he appeared before the island's Royal Court on Monday.
Border Agency officers found 144.56g of 4-methylethcathinone, otherwise known as 4-MEC, when they searched his home address in December.
The drug was estimated to have a local resale value of between £7,356 and £11,770.
Downes also admitted a second charge of possessing 1.10g of herbal cannabis, for which he was given a seven-day sentence to run concurrently.
