A dad-of-four who ran up a drug debt was attacked when he tried to refuse to go to Blackpool and run a county lines operation.
Chris Mogan, 34, was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday after admitting his involvement in a drugs ring dubbed 'Scouse JJ', which flooded the seaside town with cocaine and heroin. The court heard Mogan had "come under pressure" to work for the gang to pay off a drug debt.
Judge Neil Flewitt, KC, sentencing, told the defendant: "The reason you got involved at all was because you had become used to taking cocaine and ran up a debt. This case, like many others, is an example of just how easy it is when you start taking drugs to be sucked into dealing drugs.
