However, the jury found him guilty of dealing crack cocaine and heroin in Banbury.
They heard he was running three drug lines in the town and was sending 'blank texts' to 'avoid any evidence'.
Judge Ian Pringle jailed him for five years this week after the short trial proceedings.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "We will not tolerate drug dealing and we will bring offenders to justice."
