A drug dealer caught selling narcotics in a city centre bar has been spared prison.
Josemar Fernandez was in Perdu, in Newcastle city centre, when he was spotted dealing by the manager. A court heard he was huddled with his brother and another man he was selling to.
When the 34-year-old, formerly of Elswick Court, Elswick, Newcastle, was arrested he was found to have a cocktail of drugs in his underwear. Further evidence of his dealing were discovered at his home and on his phone.
