A former university student who went "off the rails" missed out on an opportunity to turn a new leaf after accidentally leaving a wallet filled with cash and drugs at a Tesco store.
Tam Waller, 34, dropped out of his social work course at the University of Hull due to his spiralling drug use and was later jailed in 2013 for robbery. But after his release from prison, he was supported by a housing association and found work as a digital marketing executive.
After relapsing into heavy drinking and drugs he turned to street dealing, but was "essentially a decent person who has gone off the rails badly", Hull Crown Court heard.
