A young man who started using cannabis as a child was warned by a judge that he "must stay on the right track" after appearing in court charged with drug offences. 19-year-old Callum Williams was arrested by police after his fingerprint was found on a lightbulb at a cannabis factory in Bridgend city centre.
Williams, of Madoc Close, Bridgend, was later found to have passed the contact numbers of suppliers of magic mushrooms and ketamine onto buyers. Messages discovered on a phone found at his property showed that he advertised "giveaway offers" for Class A and B drugs, while he texted some buyers asking: "Need any weed?".
The court heard that the defendant had a "difficult" upbringing having been in care between the ages of three and 15 and started using cannabis at just eight years old. He appeared at Cardiff Crown Court for sentencing on August 5 having previously pleaded guilty to supplying cannabis and offering to supply both magic mushrooms and ketamine.
