He was awarded a scholarship of £5,000 from the Queen’s Jubilee Fund after showing outstanding promise in his studies.
After twice being expelled from school, the award was designed to give James Hood a second chance at building a successful career.
But now Hood, 33, an MA student, is facing a jail after he was caught red-handed with almost £60,000 worth of cannabis in his car.
James Hood who was awarded £5,000 from the Queen’s Jubilee Fund in 2008 is facing jail after being caught with £60,000 of cannabis
A court heard Hood was arrested along with Roy Bedingfield, 57, when police swooped on the car park of a pub in Herne Bay, Kent.
When the vehicle was examined by forensic officers they discovered it contained almost 10 kilos of high-grade cannabis resin.
Hood was awarded £5,000 from the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fund Scholarship from the Chartered Institute of Building after he graduated in 2008.
The Fund was set up in the wake of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 for students who have shown potential in the early part of their studies and are intended to provide support in their ongoing studies.
Hood of St Mary’s Gate, Nottingham, was awarded the cash after graduating with a first class honours degree in Construction Management at Nottingham Trent University in 2008.
The award is handed out to students who show ‘academic excellence and leadership potential’ who are ‘bright, motivated and ambitious individuals’.
In a statement from the university in 2008 – after Hood was awarded the £5,000 – it stated the student was ‘building a first-class new life’.
It said: ‘Expelled twice from school before leaving with no qualifications, going to university was the last thing on James Hood’s mind.
‘But despite the difficulties of his teenage years the Nottingham Trent University student is now celebrating a first-class honours degree, is preparing for a Masters course and has won a prestigious £5,000 scholarship.’

It continued: ‘The 29-year-old, who has graduated with top marks on the university’s BSc (Hons) Construction Management course, hopes his success story will serve as an inspiration for others who might feel life’s opportunities have passed them by.’
Speaking in 2008, Hood said: ‘In my younger days I never believed that I would go to university.
‘Then I found that I thrive on academic achievement and want to obtain the highest grades possible to take my career forward.
‘If I am successful in my ambitions I would like to start my own construction business or become a university lecturer to help repay what I have gained through education.’
But those ambitions came crashing down when he pleaded guilty, along with Bedingfield, to being concerned in supplying a controlled Class B drug – which carries a maximum 14 year jail term.
Sitting at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Stephen Robbins was asked to grant bail to allow Hood to allow him to complete his MA degree in project management.
But the judge refused the application and instead Hood was remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing hearing on July 6.

It really annoys me when bad children/ adults are constantly rewarded for bad behaviour. “There there here’s some money because you’ve been a naughty boy” How about rewarding the children/ adults that are good, well behaved citizens.
Damn do gooders.

‘But despite the difficulties of his teenage years the Nottingham Trent University student is now celebrating a first-class honours degree, is preparing for a Masters course and has won a prestigious £5,000 scholarship.’
Clearly, proper use of English isn’t a high priority at this former Polytechnic.
Yet application of the apostrophe is so straightforward.
The “University” meant to write “Master’s course”.
Such shoddy use of English.

Poor guy, I feel sorry for him. £60,000 worth of cannabis isn’t nearly as much as the courts would make you think. They divide the amount into the smallest sale amounts possible and calculate the amount from the fictitious prices they set for the stuff.
So for example, an ounce of hash which usually costs between £60-£90 dependent on quality. In court, they would say this amounts to £280 measured at £10 a gram by their system and regardless of whether it was good or bad quality.
So for an amount like £60,000 at court, you’re really talking about a few grand’s worth.

An honours degree in “construction management” and a MA in “project management”? What a joke.

Yet another victim of prohibition in the UK.

Shows even cleaver useful people are tempted by Al Capone and his fast buck. If the cannabis was clean and not the normal poisonous hootch he was doing this country a service; worth every penny. The choice to make money supplying a very save substance is of our making. This is less morally wrong than driving too fast. They are both crimes and driving is more risky than smoking £60,000 of cannabis.
