A DRUG dealer caught in the act at in a bar has been jailed for two years.

Liam Green was seen acting suspiciously by doorstaff at G’s Bar in Bicester, on December 20, 2009.

When police arrived, the 26-year-old was found with 11 wraps of crack cocaine and four wraps of heroin worth up to £300, prosecutor Kevin West told Oxford Crown Court yesterday.

The court heard Green also had £215.16 in cash on him.

Unemployed Green, from Windrush Close, Bicester, earlier admitted two counts of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply. He has a previous conviction for being drunk and disorderly and three cautions, including one for possession of cannabis.

Judge Julian Hall said: “His jobseekers’ allowance has been suspended, (and) he doesn’t look for work. He spends what money he can glean from the rest of us on cannabis.”

Lucy Tapper, defending, said her client had ended his use of cocaine and cannabis. She said Green had made contacts in the drug world through his own personal use of cocaine, and said he saw his decision to move back to Bicester and associate with such people as “the worst thing he has ever done”.

She added: “Things have spiralled out of control.”

Green had initially pleaded guilty on the basis he was looking after the drugs for someone else, but later accepted the Crown Prosecution Service’s version of events that he was a “low-level street dealer”.

Jailing Green for two years, Judge Hall said: “You were a low-level dealer supplying drugs to people who had used drugs in the past. You weren’t corrupting anybody, but it perpetuates a drug culture which is extremely damaging.”
