Drug dealer behind bars again
Comments |
A man from Sheerness is behind bars after being found
guilty of dealing drugs for the third time.
David Foreman, 46, previously of Clyde Street was arrested
following a raid in August 2008.
Officers stopped Foreman as he was leaving his home by car and
found a small quantity of heroin.
His house was searched where a small amount of cocaine and drug
supply paraphernalia was found and he was arrested.
He found guilty of drugs supply at a hearing on April 30 and
sentenced last week at Maidstone Crown Court by His Honour Judge St
John-Stevens, where he was due to receive a mandatory sentence of
seven years, as this was his third conviction for drug supply.
However, probation reports indicated Foreman was no longer
taking drugs and currently looking for work.
The judge considered these to be exceptional circumstances and
ordered that he should serve a lesser sentence of two years and
three months, taking these things into account and time already
spent in prison.
