A BRYNAMMAN drug dealer who was ‘caught red handed’ with cocaine and cannabis has been jailed for three years today (Sept 19).

Darrian Bointon, aged 21, was told he needed to decide now whether he would continue offending and risk spending the rest of his life in jail.

Bointon, of Brynbrain Estate, admitted possessing both cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply.

Swansea Crown Court heard how police stopped a car he was driving on June 12 and found the drugs already divided into individual deals.

Judge Geraint Walters said it was the third time Bointon had been caught dealing in cannabis but it was his first offence for being involved in the supply of a Class A drug.

At the age of only 21 he had already amassed a considerable criminal record, said the judge.

“You have completely lost your way,” he added.

“Your downfall was the taking of drugs and then becoming addicted to them.

“People who deal in Class A drugs almost always go to jail, it is as simple as that. You must have known that.”

Judge Walters said he accepted that Bointon had not been making huge amounts of money but had been dealing to meet the cost of his own habits.
However, he had been spreading the misery of drug usage just to make a fast buck.
He warned Bointon he would spend longer and longer in jail unless he changed–and the time to do that was now.
