A Dubai Police sergeant was sentenced to four years in jail for consuming drugs, Dubai Court said in a verdict announced on Tuesday.

The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance also found JH, 29, Emirati, guilty of attempting to smuggle drugs to a detainee at Al Qusais Police Station and was ordered to pay Dh1,000 fine.

JH was arrested while attempting to smuggle drug tablets to a detainee but records did not mention how the incident happened and who the detainee was.

The accused was suspected of consuming drugs and underwent urine test results which proved positive, the court records showed.

The accused, however, denied the charges when first appeared before the court.
