🎠Talk about drama! Tony Pike, a would-be drug dealer from Margam, Port Talbot, found himself in hot water when his “cocaine” stash turned out to be nothing more than bicarbonate of soda! 🚔
At just 23, Tony pleaded guilty to supplying cocaine, only to discover later that the white powder was fake. During a search of his home, police found evidence suggesting he was dealing cocaine and heroin, including scales and messages on his phone. But the twist? The crucial bag of ‘cocaine’ was actually just baking soda. After this revelation, his guilty plea was withdrawn for that particular charge.
Tony, who was previously involved in drug supply at a low level, according to his lawyer, got 33 months behind bars with the chance to serve the remainder in the community after 40% of the sentence. The court hopes Tony, who’s got family backing, can turn his life around and find his way.
