Jailed: 'Bullied foolish dupe' crack dealer was caught while on bail
A drug dealer caught with crack cocaine while on bail for dealing heroin has been jailed.
Shamar Fairclough, 27, of Hambrook Close, Wolverhampton, admitted three charges when he appeared before Shrewsbury Crown Court.
The charges came after he was stopped and searched by police in Shifnal on two separate occasions, once in 2021, and again in February this year. Police also found him in possession of nearly £10,000, which they said had come from drug dealing.
The first charge was possession of heroin with intent to supply on September 8, 2021, the second was intent to supply crack cocaine between June 1, 2022, and February 9, this year, along with a further charge of possession of criminal property, namely cash totalling £9,496.
Alexa Carrier, prosecuting, said the first incident had seen Fairclough spotted by police with an electric scooter in Shifnal on September 8, 2021.
They approached him and he was found to have discarded two wraps containing heroin, as well as a mobile phone containing messages detailing drug dealing – which he had thrown into a nearby field.
He was also found to have possession of £9,496.
The second incident also took place in Shifnal, with Fairclough arrested after "a short pursuit" on February 9 this year.
