The court heard that Drake Glynn was targeted by dealers and pressured into selling cocaine after racking up a debt of his own.
Upon finding needles and caps in the kitchen, they conducted a search and found a bag behind the sofa containing snap bags and scales.They also found bags containing white rocks and a quantity of benzocaine, a type of mild anaesthetic that is often used in the cutting of cocaine.
They also found £800 cash in a kitchen drawer and a Nokia mobile phone with messages related to the sale of cocaine and ecstasy, plus some that advertised the cost of the drugs.Glynn was arrested and interviewed by police and gave largely no comments, but did claim he had saved up the £800 from his job.He also said he used cannabis every day and cocaine about three times a week. He denied selling drugs and using the mobile phone.
He later admitted selling cocaine and possessing criminal cash, and eventually admitted selling the ecstasy. Mitigating on his behalf, Andrew Coleman described Glynn as an easy target, and there was such concern about him it was even considered that he may be a victim of modern slavery.The judge, Recorder Patrick Palmer told him: “I accept you were under a lot of pressure from people above you.”Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Yorkshire Evening Post, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more.
