A dad resorted to drug dealing after he lost his job and fell into financial difficulties, a court heard. Jovan Mullins returned to dealing as a "last resort", explained his solicitor-advocate, Shannon English, at Nottingham Crown Court.
Mullins was caught with 300 wraps of cocaine when police noticed his car insurance had expired by two weeks on September 9 last year. Mullins was in Talbot Street, Nottingham, when he was stopped and searched, leading to the discovery of bundles of cocaine wraps and cash bundles under his passenger seat.
One bundle of drugs was in his pants, the court was told on Monday (February 6). A search of Mullins's home turned up a quantity of heroin, valued between £130-£350, a quantity of cocaine with an 82 percent purity, which prosecutor David Eager told the court was "a significant fact in the case, as it was not prepared for sale at street level and was far too pure".
