🚨 Busted in Bettws: Drug Dealer’s Unbelievable Excuse 🚨
Curtis Lewis, 29, found himself in hot water after a bold encounter with the police in Newport. When officers pulled over the car he was in, Curtis tried to convince them that no dodgy dealings were happening, casually claiming, “No drug dealing mate, this is my uncle.” 🤔
But things took a wild turn when the officers decided to conduct a search. Curtis, not keen on being cuffed, decided to resist arrest. Let’s just say things didn’t go to plan for him – a quick blast of PAVA spray ensured he was promptly taken to the ground.
During the arrest, Curtis had a moment of clarity and admitted, “Sorry man, I’m a stupid idiot,” after being found with an eye-popping stash – 18 wraps of crack cocaine and 31 wraps of heroin hidden in his underwear! 🤦♂️
Despite serving a previous sentence for carrying a knife in public, Curtis landed himself back in front of the judge at Newport Crown Court, facing the music for two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs. Verdict? Three more years behind bars.
PC Billy Connor had this to say: “It’s frustrating to see someone back in court so soon, but we won’t stop fighting against the damage caused by drugs.”
A massive shoutout to the community for keeping eyes peeled and providing invaluable information to help tackle crime. 🕵️♂️
