Turton was jailed at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday (August 9) after pleading guilty to two counts of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and possession of a class B drug with intent to supply.
DC Peter Hume said: "Turton had a substantial amount of drugs and was readily selling them on the streets of Cambridgeshire.
"However, thanks to the alertness of the security at the nightclub we have been able to bring yet another drug dealer to justice."
