officer assaulted and arrest Police arrested Marshall in a suspected drug deal in Manilla Crescent on Thursday, October 24, last year. Police witnessed him enter a car and then leave a few

seconds later. Officers then searched Marshall's home address where they found Sanders and Wyman - who was in possession of suspected Class A drugs, over £1,000 cash and a knuckle

duster. Article continues below The investigation uncovered that all three were concerned in the supply of Class A drugs in the Weston-super-Mare area, with the drugs coming from the West

Midlands. The trio were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday, May 1. Wyman, from Birmingham, was jailed for three years after pleading guilty to: * Two counts of being concerned in

the supply of class A drugs * Two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs * One count of possession of an offensive weapon (knuckle duster) in a private place. He was

ordered to forfeit £1,189.90 believed to be from drug-related activity. An officer on the case, PC Tom Highton, has since warned the sentence should serve as a deterrent to others involved

in drug dealing. He said: “Cocaine, heroin and other illegal substances cause an immense amount misery to people, not only drug users but the local communities too. “We hope this result

reassures the communities of Avon and Somerset that tackling drug supply remains a priority of ours. "Information we receive relating to drug supply will be reviewed and that work

enables us to plan proactive operations to target offenders, like was carried out in Weston in the autumn. “The imprisonment of Wyman, Marshall and Sanders hopefully should act as a warning

to anyone involved in the supply of illegal drugs that they risk a significant custodial sentence because we and our partners in the criminal justice system are determined to bring such

offenders before the courts.” Article continues below Marshall from Weston-super-Mare, was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of class

A drugs. He was ordered to forfeit £100 believed to be from drug-related activity. Sanders also from Weston-super-Mare, received a prison sentence of 16 months after admitting the same

offences.
