A cocaine dealer who was at court for sentencing lost his nerve and fled the building before his case was called on.
John Carr, 45, was then on the run for three months before being re-arrested. He was yesterday (Tuesday, October 11) jailed for two years and four months. Liverpool Crown Court heard Carr only sought solace in Class A drugs six years ago after his sister died.
Barrister, Brendan Carville, said: "He went to pieces and started using heroin and cocaine. He had mental health problems as result of her death. He initially started borrowing money off his mother to buy drugs and later started selling at street level.”
