A drug dealer arrested over the seizure of a sawn-off shotgun four years ago skipped bail but was then caught again with a taser.
James Ashton, of no fixed address, was first arrested in 2018 after a joint operation between Gloucestershire Police and Merseyside Police in Liverpool led to the seizure of the shortened shotgun from inside a vehicle.
Ashton, 33, was released on bail but went on the run for another two years. However, on March 15, 2020, he was picked up after officers from Avon and Somerset Police in Weston-super-Mare stopped a suspicious vehicle with Ashton in the passenger seat.
