🚨 Oops! Big Mistake Leads to Jail Time! 🚨
Rachel Butcher, 45, from Cardiff, accidentally landed herself in hot water when she texted the wrong person during a “text bomb” – a police officer! Offering to sell cocaine under her nickname ‘Red’, this slip-up didn’t go unnoticed. 🚔
Back in March, Rachel’s bulk message, meant to reach 76 potential customers, unintentionally included a police contact. This error triggered an investigation that revealed quite a tale about Rachel and her operation between May and July 2024. A busted Nokia phone played a key role, uncovering multiple offers to sell cocaine. 📱
When authorities raided a property in Barry under her name, further evidence deepened her troubles. Rachel’s personal phone even hinted at sales of crack cocaine. Despite initial denials, the evidence stacked high enough for her to plead guilty to dealing class A drugs.
It’s a tough fall for Rachel, who has 21 past convictions, although none for drug trafficking. Her barrister painted a picture of a woman pushed to the edge by personal tragedies and addiction. Following the death of her husband and subsequent family trauma, Rachel’s life reportedly spiralled out of control.
Despite these circumstances, the judge recognised the severe impact of drugs, sentencing Rachel to 30 months in prison. It’s a cautionary tale of life choices and consequences.
Stay safe out there, folks! 💬
