A drug dealing mum claimed she only supplied to her children to "keep them away from drug dealers", a court heard.
Keith Henson and Sharon Williams, both of Buchanan Road, Egremont, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday. Derrick Jones, prosecuting, detailed the “peculiar” circumstances in which the offending came to light, as Henson called the police to his home address on February 2 last year, after he claimed Williams’ son had assaulted him.
Police arrived prepared to undertake a welfare check on the 59-year-old man, but instead found a large amount of cannabis growing in the back room of the property. Both defendants were arrested, and Henson told police the drugs belonged to his partner, Williams.
