A DRUG dealer from Barry has been jailed for over three and a half years for the supply of cocaine and the possession of a zombie knife.
Tommy-Lee Carson, aged 28, of Holton Road, Barry, was identified by Cardiff’s Organised Crime Team, after investigating a Class A and B drug line that was linked to his number. Texts were identified on a mobile telephone number linked to Carson that advertised drugs for sale.
On 12th February, South Wales Police (SWP) executed a search warrant on Carson’s home address where drugs with a street value of between £3,640 and £7,280 were seized, along with the offensive weapon.
On 16th May, Carson was sentenced to 45 months in prison after pleading guilty at Cardiff Crown Court to being concerned in the supply of cocaine. He was also sentenced to serve concurrently: six months for possession of an offensive weapon in a private place (namely a zombie knife), 12 months for being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of Class B (cannabis), and 12 months for possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class B (cannabis resin).
Investigating police officer DC Gaby Pughsley said: “Carson’s drug dealing will undoubtedly have impacted the local community and I’m pleased to see this significant sentence.
“There is zero-tolerance for drug supply on our streets and our organised crime team are committed to identifying and apprehending those involved.”
