🚨 From Potential Pro to Prison – A Cautionary Tale 🎓🏟️
Meet Malachi Lewis, a young man with a promising future in football who took a wrong turn. Once part of a premier league team’s academy, he fell into the wrong crowd in Cardiff. Now, he’s been sentenced to two years in prison for drug dealing.
🧐 He was caught selling drugs in the Adamsdown area while wearing a black balaclava and riding an illegally modified electric bike. Police found him with a burner phone and cash, all indicating he was deep into the drug scene.
But there’s more to Malachi’s story—after his arrest, he became a father. Yet, he sits alone at Parc Prison, unable to meet his newborn son because his family lives miles away in Birmingham.
His lawyer says Malachi has made significant changes, leaving behind his ‘immature and desperate’ past. In prison, he’s taken up courses in roofing and plumbing, gearing up for a fresh start once he’s out.
Prison is lonely, but it’s given him a new perspective. Not being there for his child’s formative months has been an eye-opener. Malachi’s determined not to let his son face the same path.
Hopefully, Malachi’s story serves as a reminder of the thin line between potential success and downfall. It’s never too late to change, but the cost can be high. Let’s hope he kicks his troubles just like he once kicked a football and rebuilds for a better future! ⚽️🔧
