Dad who dealt drugs to finance daughter's eye surgery in tears as he faces judge

A dad who dealt drugs to finance his young daughter’s eye surgery, vowed to “never stand in court again”, before being sentenced to four years in prison.

Callum Edwards-Pritchard, 27, admitted he had made the “biggest mistake of my life” after returning to crime in order to fund private treatment after his daughter was born with cataracts in her right eye.

Edwards-Pritchard, from Swansea – who had two previous convictions for eight offences, including being involved in a conspiracy to supply cocaine – was caught after police found messages from him on the phone of another dealer who they had arrested last year, reports Wales Online.
