When teenager Brad Forbes went to the park instead of a picnic he took along drugs, a court heard. And, sadly for him, he was busted after police spotted apparent dealing.
Forbes, 20, of Meadowcroft in Swindon, was aged just 18 when he was lured into carrying drugs for easy money, Bristol Crown Court heard. He pleaded guilty to possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply in November 2020.
Judge Mark Horton handed him 16 months' jail suspended for two years. He told Forbes: "I'm in no doubt that whatever the reason you were running with a very bad crowd at that time. It is very easy to get lured into this trade."
