A former soldier who saw active service in Iraq and Afghanistan turned to dealing cocaine after being introduced to the drug while working as a bouncer at Swansea pubs and bars, a court has heard.
Kyle Davies left the Army suffering with post traumatic stress disorder and worked for a time in close protection security roles before returning to live in south Wales and finding work on the doors of licenced premises. But once back on civvy street he began mixing with people who used coke recreationally which led to him to using the drug and later supplying it.
Swansea Crown Court heard it has taken three years for the case to get to court to be sentenced, and a judge said that for some 18 months of that time it appeared "nobody could be bothered to do anything with it."
