A Perth sheriff slammed a drug dealer caught with more than 70 grammes of cocaine for playing his part in what he described as “a cancer.”
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told Peter Chalmers, 25, of McWilliam Place, Kinross, the drugs trade was like a “spider’s web” and castigated him for being pleased he did not sell the class A drug to “kids”.
Chalmers had admitted that between January 1 and May 30, at his home address, he was concerned in the supply of cocaine, a class A drug.
Sheriff Foulis sent Chalmers to jail for 30 months and also agreed to forfeit the drugs, cash and digital scales found at the scene.
Sentencing Chalmers, Sheriff Foulis said: “You think it’s OK to do what you did as you didn’t supply kids but you did this to help pay your mortgage and supplement your income that’s ignorance and greed and that is the fact of this.”
