A man from Bristol has been jailed for drug offences - and for breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order.
Junior Angus who's 32 year old and from Argyle Road is behind bars for 3 years and 8 months after a search of his home back in January led to the discovery of heroin, cocaine, cash, and several mobile phones.
It comes after officers received intelligence that suggested drugs were being sold from his address.
He was later charged with possession with intent to supply heroin, possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, possession of cocaine and three breaches of a five year CBO he was made subject to in August 2020 after being convicted of an affray offence.
The CBO was acquired by the Project ADDER team, a project funded by the Home Office to reduce drug-related crime and deaths in Bristol.
On Friday (April 26), Bristol Crown Court heard Angus breached his CBO by associating with people the order prohibits him from having contact with and by being in possession of mobile phones not registered with police.
The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to all six charges and was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison for the drug offences, with an eight month jail term for the CBO breaches to run consecutively.
Investigating officer PC Louise Jones said: “Drugs destroy the lives of those who take them but also those around them. We are committed to reducing the harm they cause and to bringing those involved in supplying them to justice.
“I hope this case reassures people that we are listening to our communities and act on reports we receive relating to drug supply.”
She added: “CBOs are designed to protect the public from people like Junior Angus by placing certain restrictions on their lives without taking away their liberty.
“When those who are subject to CBOs show contempt to them they face significant consequences, in this case Angus has received an extra eight months in prison.”
