UK: Cannabis dealer receives sentence
Bridport News Wednesday 19 Sep 2012 Loren Thomas Winters, 21, of Port Court, Bradpole, appeared at Dorchester Crown Court for sentence after admitting a charge of possessing a class B drug with intent to supply. Prosecutor Jennie Rickman said that on March 17 police executed a search warrant and found the defendant at home with his girlfriend. They discovered a number of drug-related items including scales and 10.75 grams of cannabis with an estimated street value of just over £100. Officers also found £475 in cash. Miss Rickman said: “"he defendant was arrested and interviewed in respect of the cannabis and initially said it was for personal use because he was suffering from depression. "He was then asked if there was anything on his mobile phone that would indicate otherwise and without police having to carry out analysis of the phone he admitted there was evidence on the mobile phone and that he was dealing to friends in order to fund his own habit." The court was told Winters had no previous convictions. In mitigation, Joanna Morrissey said he had only been involved in dealing to a small circle of friends for a couple of months. She said that he was already taking steps to tackle his alcohol problem. Judge Roger Jarvis sentenced Winters to 26 weeks in prison, suspended for one year. He also imposed a 12-month community order with supervision and residence requirements as well as a requirement to attend an alcohol treatment course for six months. http://www.bridportnews.co.uk/news/9936734.Cannabis_dealer_receives_sentence/
