Wolverhampton drug dealer who gave police false name is jailed for more than two years
A teenage drug dealer from Wolverhampton who tried to conceal his identity from police after he was arrested at a cemetery in Peterborough has been jailed for more than two years.
Marcel Mullings, 19, was arrested on July 31, when officers on patrol in the area saw what they suspected to be a drug deal.
Mullings was detained and searched when officers found two mobile phones on him, more than £1,000 in cash and 57 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin worth up to about £570.
He was arrested and taken into custody where it was later discovered he had given a false name and address.
Mullings, of Beckbury Avenue, Wolverhampton, was charged with possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, as well as perverting the course of justice by providing false details to police.
He was sentenced to 27 months in prison at Peterborough Crown Court.
