A cocaine dealer "lashed out" at police officers as he was arrested in a café.
Kyle Williams has been jailed for his role in flooding the streets of Ellesmere Port with "high quality" cocaine. Williams of Colemere Court, Ellesmere Port appeared at Chester Crown Court last week on November 24 to plead guilty to the drug charges.
The court heard the 22-year-old was accused of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (cocaine) between March 18 and October 7 this year. Cheshire Police intelligence identified Williams was offering "high quality" cocaine to local customers using a mobile phone.

In October a local police officer spotted Williams in a café in Station Road, Ellesmere Port. Williams "lashed out" and tried to flee but officers managed to detain him and seized a mobile phone. His phone was confirmed as a drugs phone and he was subsequently charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
DC Stuart Wood said: "I’d like to thank the officers and colleagues involved in this case as together we have taken another dealer off the streets, thwarting the sale of class A drugs in Ellesmere Port. We will continue in our fight against illegal drugs and would urge anyone who has any information on illegal drugs to contact police."
Williams was sentenced to 45 months in prison for the drugs offence and three weeks custodial, to run concurrently, for resisting a constable in the execution of his duty.
