Reece Caven, aged 21 and from Cannock, was stopped by officers as a passenger in a Vauxhall Insignia on Hednesford, in April 2022.
Caven tried to hide the phone, which was later found to be linked to a supply of cocaine in the town, but was unsuccessful. A separate phone was also found on him when he was searched.
Officers from Staffordshire Police then searched his address and found £19,495 in cash.
He was sentenced at Stafford Crown Court last Wednesday after previously admitting being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possessing criminal property.
Caven was charged with the offences and admitted them at an earlier court hearing before his sentencing.
