This week ended with drug dealer Daniel Bickerton going to prison for more than five years for supplying crack cocaine and cocaine, and having a loaded shotgun in his Mansfield home. Nottingham Crown Court heard he had broadly boasted he was able to make "high-quality crack cocaine" and "the best in the area".
He even re-enacted a scene from the movie Taxi Driver, as he loaded and pointed a gun at his camera phone, and was recorded on film racking the slide of a pistol after he had been beaten up and warned that "people would pay the consequences".
His case was sentenced on Friday (February 3) after 40-year-old Bickerton of Prices Street, Mansfield, pleaded guilty to possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possessing a shotgun and ammunition, and supplying cocaine and crack cocaine.
