When police discovered a WhatsApp messaging group dealing in drugs called The Bristol Trade Market they delved further. And their inquiries led to a father-of-two from Southmead, trying to profit from the illicit trade.
Jamie Davis, 23, of Charfield Road, pleaded guilty to offering to supply cocaine, being concerned in the supply of ketamine, ecstasy and cannabis and possessing cannabis with intent to supply. He appeared at Bristol Crown Court for sentence yesterday (February 7, 2023).
Judge Euan Ambrose jailed him for two years and four months. He told Davis: "There are sentencing guidelines I must apply. This was deliberate involvement, no pressure was applied to you, this was entirely of your own making."
