A dealer told officers he had swallowed wraps of drugs before vomiting as police raided his home.
A plain clothes officer saw Ryan Kearns, 29, of Marlborough Road in Oxton, on Woodchurch Road with a gang of men in what he described as a drug deal on November 30, 2022 at around 12.35pm. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday, May 18, that Kearns noticed the officer and started to walk away from them.
KC Suzanne Payne told the court officers saw Kearns again on Borough Road, at the junction of Balls Road East, where they stopped and detained him on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. Officers found a graft phone which contained messages consistent with drug supply and £845 in cash.
