Inside the bag was 14 wraps containing a total of 12.86g of cocaine.
Watts, 30, was also found to be in possession of another quantity of 2.39g of cocaine and MDMA.
Sasha Bailey, mitigating, said things had started to fall apart for Watts when contact with his son ended at the same time as a relationship with his former partner.
Miss Bailey added: He started dealing drugs to pay off the debt and fund his own habit.
However, recorder Jeremy Benson QC told Watts a custodial sentence was justified .
At Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday, Watts was jailed for three years - less 49 days spent under curfew while on bail.

A man who forged his daughter s signature to deflect blame for a motoring offence has avoided going straight to jail.
Philip Thompson claimed his daughter was behind the wheel of a car which jumped a red light when she actually was studying at university 200 miles away.
Thompson, 60, of Whitesfield, East Bergholt, was sentenced to nine months custody, suspended for two years, at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday, having previously admitted committing a series of acts with intent to pervert the course of justice.
He was also fined £5,000.
The court heard how Thompson, a limousine hire company boss, had forged one of his two daughters signatures on a notice of intended prosecution sent to the address on February 1, 2018, after her silver Ford Fiesta was recorded jumping a red light
