A “stupid” drug dealer who refused to attend the police station for a voluntary interview had his home raided, where officers found a third-of-a-kilogramme of cannabis.
Lewis Simpson was told by a Leeds Crown Court judge that had he just attended the station after he was caught with a minimal amount of the drug in the street, he would have likely got away with a warning. But instead, officers went to his home in Allerton Bywater and arrested him, and uncovered thousands of pounds worth of the drug, and thousands of pounds in cash. Judge Ray Singh told him this week: “It was the height of stupidity. You’re not as clever as you think you are.
Miss Hughes said police saw an obvious drug deal between Simpson and a male on a bicycle, with cash and drugs being exchanged. Simpson was stopped and found to have £50 on him, and a small amount of cannabis. The cyclist was stopped and he handed over the drugs he had just bought. Simpson was told he must attend the police station, but twice failed to show. They then went to his home on Highfield Green to arrest him.
