Cocaine and heroin dealer tried to run away after city centre street fight

A drug dealer who was spotted by police after a large street fight in Nottingham city centre has been jailed. Olajiire Albert-Shoyombo, 20, tried to run away from the scene in Shakespeare Street but was chased by officers and tackled to the floor.

He had also been arrested three months previously after being seen by officers dealing cocaine and heroin on the streets. Mobile phone evidence gathered after the two incidents allowed police to build a strong case against him.

Albert-Shoyombo, of Ashfield Road, Sneinton, was given a custodial sentence of three years and four months in a young offenders' institution when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (23 March 2023). He had earlier been convicted of one count of being concerned in the supply of heroin and one count of being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
