A Bodmin drug dealer tossed crack cocaine out the window when police showed up to arrest him
This all started back in September when they raided his place. They found all sorts of drug stuff, like cannabis, scales, and nearly three grand in cash. Fast forward to today, and he was back in court.
Counter, who’s 28 and lives on Rock Lane, didn’t show up for a police interview after being bailed. So, the cops went back to his house. As they got close, they saw him toss a blue package out the window.
Guess what? That package had 14 grams of crack cocaine in it. At first, he denied everything. But later, he admitted to having the drugs. He just didn’t want to get caught.
In court, he pleaded guilty to several charges, including possession and supply of drugs. His lawyer said he had a rough life, growing up with a drug-addicted mom. He ended up in care and got caught up in drugs himself.
Counter’s lawyer argued he was just a small player in the drug scene, pressured by others. He even got hurt by dangerous dealers. The judge, however, wasn’t too lenient.
He reminded Counter that he had already been given chances before but didn’t change. In the end, the judge sentenced him to two years in prison. Counter will serve 40% of that before getting released on license.
It’s a tough situation, but hopefully, he can turn his life around this time.
