Caught weeks before sentence ended
A drug dealer has admitted using an illicit SIM in HMP Castle Huntly just weeks before his 67-month sentence came to an end.
Jason Jolley, 51, was jailed for five years and 219 days at Edinburgh High Court in 2017 after admitting being concerned in the supply of heroin.
Then based in Manchester, Jolley had been using a caravan in Dumfries-shire to harbour tens of thousands of pounds worth of the Class A drug.
He was due to be liberated from the open prison on April 21 last year but weeks before, on March 11, he was caught with an illegal SIM.
Fiscal depute Larissa Milligan said: “The accused was asked to hand over the SPS-issue mobile telephone.
“Upon inspection, the security seal to the rear was found to have been tampered with and the illicit SIM card was found within.”
Defence solicitor David Holmes said: “At the time, his mother had been very unwell.
“He had obtained the card so that he could speak with to her.
“His mother is now receiving end-of-life care.”
Jolley, who now lives with his sister in Colne, Lancashire, but spent the weekend in police cells after answering a warrant, has been ordered to be of good behaviour for three months and will be sentenced on October 4
Sheriff Maryam Labaki said: “It’s a real pity that, having reached the near end of your sentence, you broke the rules.”
