Teenager warned after £3,000 drugs are seized
A teenager has been warned he faces a long stretch behind bars after admitting possessing class A drugs with the intent to deal them.
Jerome Nash, aged 19, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday.
He pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin with intent to supply.
He also pleaded guilty to driving a VW Jetta while disqualified, in Blackhalve Lane, near Essington.
All the offences were committed on May 23 this year.
The offences relate to the discovery of around £3,000 worth of drugs in the vehicle and during a subsequent search of his home, the court was told.
Nash, of Stanley Road, Bushbury, was remanded on conditional bail with an electronic tag controlling a night time curfew while pre-sentencing reports are prepared.
At the the hearing Judge Amjad Nawaz told him: "You have pleaded guilty to very serious offences but because of your youth and lack of entrenched pattern of criminality, a report will be useful for the judge who sentences you."
But he added: "Do not read into the fact that you are being granted bail the possibility of you receiving anything other than a lengthy period of custody."
Nash will return to the crown court to be sentenced on November 7 when the case against him will be outlined in full.
The matter was adjourned until then.
