A CANNABIS farmer jumped out of bed when the police turned up with a search warrant, Bradford Crown Court heard.
Albi Cekici, an illegal immigrant from Albania, was working at the £82,000 grow in Farnham Road, Great Horton, Bradford, tending to the 150 plants.
He was jailed for 13 months by Judge Andrew Hatton who told him he had already served his sentence on remand in custody and then on an electronically monitored curfew.
Cekici, 28, of Laisteridge Lane, Bradford, pleaded guilty to production of cannabis on June 22 last year and to entering the UK without leave in contravention of the Immigration Act.
Prosecutor Rebecca Young told the court that police officers acting on intelligence attended at the house with a search warrant.
