DRUG dealer Aaron Cook has been jailed for three years after being caught with stashes of cocaine.

Cook, 24, of Waltham Road, Grimsby, admitted possessing 7.64g of cocaine with intent to supply, being concerned in supplying the drug and acquiring £225 which was the proceeds of crime.

Jeremy Evans, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that police stopped a car on May 13 and saw that Cook was nervous and acting suspiciously.

He was hiding 11 packets of cocaine, valued at about £280, in his underwear.

Analysis of text messages and telephone calls revealed that Cook had been involved in supplying cocaine between September 2011 and May last year.

Michael Culshaw, mitigating, said Cook had no previous convictions for drug offences but knew very well what he was involving himself in.

He told lies to the probation service, had a conviction for arson and had served prison sentences before, said Mr Culshaw.

Cook, who has a three-year-old daughter, had previously worked as a scaffolder.

    “This, if it is the same one. I was aware the fire brigade wanted words with him. He isn't a small bloke, yet punched out a petite woman twice his years. As I say if it is the same, he has had this coming for a long time.”

    “So let me get this straight, the DJ dealing M Cat gets a suspended sentence for getting caught with £1680 and 233g of M-Cat (http://tinyurl.com/avaeozx) because daddy wrote a letter saying how he brought shame on his family and how he is a good little boy really.

    Fair enough when you are selling you know the risks and the benefits are good so if you get caught you can deal with it I guess but lets be fair on the punishments. How can one guy walk free and one guy get sent down for 3 years? I know the classes are different but that is wrong in itself M-Cat is a poison and much worse than cocaine and is ruining more very young people because it's cheaper and easier to get hold of paying pocket money rates.”

    “Is this the same Aaron who lived in Coombe St, hung about the area? Put away at last, you don't know the half of it.”
