A scrap man whose cocaine habit got out of hand turned to drug-dealing to pay off his debts - and got caught out on his first day.
Rudy Young used the drug as a way to cope after the breakdown of his 16-year marriage, a court heard. But he fell into debt and was being threatened, LancsLive reports.
In January last year, the 35-year-old hatched a plan to start dealing drugs himself but was caught out after police spotted him on the first attempt. The court was told how he 'wasn't very unsuccessful'.
