Joshua Jones, 20, was discovered on CCTV with snap bags of the class A drugs at Harpurhey shopping centre.
When police confronted him, Jones warned officers that he had a knife and he would ‘use it if he had to’.
But Manchester Crown Court heard he was apprehended and has now been locked up. His barrister appealed for the judge to have mercy on him as he was ‘terrified’ of going to prison.
Prosecuting, Olivia Brooksbank-Laing said a police officer was in the shopping centre’s CCTV office on an unrelated matter. A security officer watching footage spotted Jones and identified him to police.
