Anthony Bromley
Possessing heroin with intent to supply *
Sentence
4 years and 2 months imprisonment
Anthony Bromley, aged 37 from Hewitt Avenue, Coventry, was caught dealing Class A drugs while on bail for an earlier driving offence. On May 3, 2017, police stopped him driving in Emscote Road, Warwick, in breach of disqualification, and found drug paraphernalia, 87 £10 wraps of heroin, phones, and a drug-related notebook. Previously, last year, he was arrested after erratic driving in a Jaguar, pursued by police, going the wrong way around a traffic island, through red lights, hitting the central reservation and an oncoming HGV, before stopping and discarding 35 wraps of heroin and crack cocaine. He has a persistent criminal record including multiple driving while disqualified, three dangerous driving offences, and a prior conviction at age 18 for possessing amphetamine with intent to supply. His drug addiction led to debt and relapse into dealing.
Pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, possessing heroin and crack cocaine, and possessing heroin with intent to supply. Consecutive to 7 months of a previously suspended sentence activated for a prior driving offence. Judge Andrew Lockhart QC presided.
