Amazing read... appears to have happened in 2012. So he gets out and does all the scamming and bullshit again.

Drug dealer Damien Lloyd jailed after cocaine and weapons uncovered in raid

POLICE discovered stun guns disguised as a torch and a mobile phone when they raided a drug dealer's house.



Taser torches, some illegally imported from China, were also found in the bedroom of Damien Lloyd.

The 39-year-old drug dealer was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison at Mold Crown Court

Judge Peter Haywood said: “It is always of concern to the courts when someone involved in supplying drugs is found to be in possession of weapons.”

During the raid, police seized nearly £24,000 worth of cocaine from the home of Lloyd, 39, in Glan Alyn, Mold, who was described in court as a vulnerable man taking medication for psychiatric problems.

Lloyd, who is also a drug user, pleaded guilty to 15 offences during an earlier court appearance, six involving the possession with intent to supply class A, B and C drugs, from cocaine to testosterone.

Merion Lewis-Jones, prosecuting, said all the remaining charges related to possession of weapons classed as firearms.

From January 2008 Lloyd had been disqualified for life from having a firearm.

One weapon was described as a “self-defensive flashlight”, believed to have been bought over the internet, which had fake mobile phone type buttons which gave off an electric shock between two electrodes.

Two other charges related to weapons described as combined torch and stun gun.

Another was a taser wand and another a stun gun again appearing to be a torch.

“Both stun guns were high voltage and capable of passing through clothing and causing marks on the skin,” said Mr Lewis-Jones.

He was also found to have a handgun and two air rifles, all capable of firing ball bearings, and all were loaded.

When police served a search warrant at Lloyd’s rented home, they found the bedroom littered with prescription drugs, other drugs and “bits of weapons.”

“He made frank admissions about his regular drug use and to purchasing goods on the internet.

“A number of mobile phones were seized and interrogated by experts. Various messages informed other people he was selling drugs and clearly he was arranging for drugs to be sent to his home address. He boasted he was earning up to £1,000 a week selling drugs.”

Some text messages showed he was selling “champagne” , “Cola”, and “Shark” – all street names for drugs.

Apart from 595 grammes of cocaine police also found nearly a kilo of benzococaine which could be used to “bulk” or dilate the cocaine further and increase its value.

In interview Lloyd said he was looking after some cocaine to help pay for a drug debt. He said he kept the weapons, which he had bought over the internet because he had an interest in weapons, but he did not take them out of the house.

He also possessed a number of imitation firearms.

Judge Haywood said he accepted that Lloyd had not used the weapons in pursuit of his “trade”.

Among the drugs found by police was diazepam. Lloyd said his GP would not prescribe it for him so he bought the tablets, 1,000 for £100.

Duncan Bould, defending, said a psychiatric report described Lloyd as a vulnerable person. “He says he is a collector and there is evidence for that, some of these weapons were still in their boxes.

“He had ordered them over the internet using his real name and his address.

“In North Wales it would be unique to come across a witness claiming to have been assaulted by a stun gun or tazer in relation to drug supplying.”

Mr Bould said he had asked Lloyd the morning of the hearing if there was anything he wanted to tell the judge and he had simply replied; “Sorry.”

Judge Haywood sentenced Lloyd to the minimum term of five years for the firearms offences and two and a half years for the drug offences, to run consecutive.

He also ordered the confiscation of £1,500 found in Lloyd’s home and the destruction of the goods seized.
