Video released by Sussex Police shows the 23-year-old meeting with a man before supplying him with cocaine.
After reaching into his jacket pocket, he is shown placing the drugs into the man’s hand before giving him a pat on the back.
Moments later, footage shows Lamaj being interviewed by cops about the encounter.
In the shocking clip, captured on body cams worn by the arresting officers, Lamaj makes a foul-mouthed admission to having the drugs.
He also admits to abusing the drug himself before offering up some of his stash to the stunned cops.
During his arrest, one of the officers says: “I suspect you’re dealing drugs. I suspect it’s cocaine.
To which Lamaj replies: “Yes. Yes. Yes. F****** yes. And I sniff it myself.
“Yeah. Do you want some? Yeah, you’ve got it here. Take it. F****** take it.”
He was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and taken to custody.
Posting the arrest video on Facebook, Sussex Police said: “Smile, you’re on camera!
“Drug dealer, Endri Lamaj, offered police some of his stash as he was arrested.
“That’s not the kind of “sharing” that pays off…Verdict? 2 years in prison.”
Lamaj, of no fixed address, was charged in the early hours of the morning on August 6.
Less than a month later, during a hearing at Lewes Crown Court, he pleaded guilty to the offence.
On the same day, he was sentenced to two years in prison.
Chief Inspector Simon Marchant hailed the local community for their “vital role” in removing Lamaj from the streets.
He said: “The community played a vital role in providing intelligence and enabled officers to apprehend Lamaj and remove him from the streets.
“The harm caused by drug dealing goes far beyond a single street transaction.
“It brings disruption to residents, fuels anti-social behaviour, and creates a general sense of insecurity within the community.
“Patrols are proactively ongoing in the area, and we remain committed to achieving outcomes like this.
“Reporting is vital, evidence is key, and together we will continue delivering results.”
Locals were quick to praise the force for the arrest on social media.
One quipped: “Yes… Yes, have some. Maybe tell that to the officers when you’re behind bars mate. Well done Sussex Police.”
Another joked: “His response was absolutely golden.”
