A 20-year-old man who admitted possessing heroin and crack cocaine to supply to drug users on the streets of Barnsley has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Curtis Stephen Bolton (pictured), formerly of Worsbrough Common, Barnsley, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday 19 October where he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He was also jailed for one year, to run alongside his four-and-a-half year sentence, for harassment.
Appearing alongside him was his co-accused, 21-year-old David Luke Osbourne of Worsbrough Common, Barnsley. He admitted possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and was handed a two-year jail sentence, suspended for two years.
Osbourne was also given a four-month curfew and both men ordered to pay costs.
The court heard how Bolton and Osbourne were caught by police in November 2016 travelling in a car around Barnsley, carrying quantities of heroin and crack cocaine concealed inside Kinder Eggs.
Detective Constable David Baker investigating said: “After their arrest, Bolton and Osbourne each attempted to blame one another for the drugs but through some thorough investigative work and analysis of their phones, we were able to put before them significant evidence that resulted in their guilty pleas.
“I am pleased that Bolton is now behind bars and that Osbourne has also been sentenced for his crime.
“We will not tolerate individuals trying to deal Class A drugs on our streets and will take firm action to apprehend those involved in drug-related crime and bring them before the courts.”
