Chief put away person who has had one (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheat

'person who has had one' is the definition.
(to have a person is to cheat or trick them)

'chief put away' is the wordplay.
'chief' becomes 'ch' (I've seen this in other clues).
'put away' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this before).
'ch'+'eat'='CHEAT'

(Other definitions for cheat that I've seen before include "Dishonest person" , "Skin" , "Hoodwink" , "Dishonest dealer" , "offending pupil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
