Police arrested a man for drug dealing in Easton and bailed him. But a month later he was dealing again, a court heard.
Bristol Crown Court was told Nuradin Mahamad was threatened to supply Class A drugs but was spotted by police. Because he was deprived of his stock he had to make up for it by dealing again - and was spotted by police again.
Mahamad, 20, of Barton Hill Road in Bristol, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin. He also admitted possessing cannabis and criminal property and asked for two charges of possessing cocaine and heroin with intent to supply to be considered.
