"I had a great day and I'm off home." These were the words of a happy Southmead dad spared immediate custody for importing some £22,000 worth of cannabis from California into Bristol.
Daniel Williams appeared at Bristol Crown Court with his son Joshua after they both admitted drug offences. Daniel, 41, of Coleford Road, pleaded guilty to: four charges of improper importation of cannabis; possessing cannabis with intent to supply, being concerned in the production of cannabis and possessing criminal property.
Joshua, 20, of the same address, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis. Judge Julian Lambert handed Daniel 11 months' jail suspended for two years and Joshua 60 hours' unpaid work.
