A man who has twice been convicted of drug trafficking offences told a judge: "I wouldn't class myself as a drug dealer."
Kelsey Higgins was allowed to read a letter he had penned to the court as he was sentenced for his part in a million pound cocaine ring. In it, the dad-of-two stated he had "done a favour" for co-conspirator John Butler in return for £150 - claiming that he allowed a bag to be stored in the boot of his car for a matter of hours on one occasion, and that he was unaware of its contents.
Appearing before Liverpool Crown Court via video link to HMP Liverpool, he said: "I have had time to reflect on my actions and I am truly sorry for this. I would not class myself as a drug dealer.
