A DRUG\u00a0dealer from Cwmbran cried as he was led into the dock at Cardiff Crown Court where he was jailed for four months.<\/span>
\nPatrick Doyle, 22, from Caradoc Road, pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of cannabis with intent to supply and one of possession of a class A drug.<\/span>
\nThe court heard that last June 31, at 2am, police officers smelled cannabis coming from Doyle\u2019s black Audi parked on the side of the road. In a search the officers found a\u00a0plastic bag containing six grams of cannabis.<\/span>
\nDoyle\u2019s flat was searched and officers found banknotes and 56 grams of cannabis. Doyle\u2019s girlfriend said most of the money belonged to her, but Doyle admitted owning the cannabis.<\/span>
\nLast July 5 police were called to Doyle\u2019s home\u00a0after he had an argument with his girlfriend. They found a carrier bag containing 85 grams of cannabis and another plastic bag containing 25 grams in a cooking pot in the kitchen.<\/span>
\nPolice then searched Doyle\u2019s mother\u2019s house. In the garden shed they found a carrier bag containing 920 grams of herbal cannabis, bringing the total to around a kilo. Doyle was arrested and released on bail.<\/span>
\nOn August 5, officers saw Doyle trying to put something into his glove compartment. They knocked on his window and when he refused to open it a police van blocked his car to stop him driving away.<\/span>
\nPolice found 17.5 grams of cannabis and 1.38 grams of cocaine. His flat was searched and \u00a3385 was found as well as a mobile phones containing text messages from people asking for drugs.<\/span>
\nDoyle had no previous convictions for possession with intent to supply. He had been charged in 2011 and 2015 for possession of cannabis and has convictions for assault.<\/span>
\nProsecutor Tom Roberts said: \u201cThe Crown say this defendant is a street dealer.\u201d<\/span>
\nBen Waters, defending, said: \u201c<\/span>The defendant obviously had issues with cannabis. His consumption got to an extent that led him to supply cannabis to support his habit.<\/span>
\n\u201cThe defendant was requested to return the money and was unable to do that, so he continued to supply cannabis to repay that debt. He was given a kilo of cannabis from someone higher up in the chain.<\/span>
\n\u201cHe ended up carrying on supplying cannabis to repay that debt. He is really a low-time drug dealer.<\/span>
\n\u201cSince January he has been able to rid himself of cannabis addiction. On two occasions he was searched with negative results.\u201d<\/span>
\nDoyle cried again as Judge Peter Rouch sentenced\u00a0him to a total of four months, to serve half that time before being released on licence. This took into account time Doyle had served while remanded on\u00a0a charge on which he was later acquitted.<\/span>
\nThe judge said: \u201cI have treated you as leniently as I possibly can as you have pleaded guilty to all these counts and you don\u2019t have any previous convictions for intent to supply.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
