A couple from Chesterton have dodged time in prison despite being involved in a drug dealing conspiracy. Lee Johnson, 36 and Nicola Timmis, 35 were caught red handed by officers selling drugs to a loyal customer from their car.The pair, who are parents to five children were taken on as drug runners within a notable county lines supply operation.
Their participation came about as a result of their own joint cocaine addiction which consequently landed them in £3,000 worth of debt with their dealer, Stoke Sentinel reports.However, a court heard that they had used their best efforts to change their lives and were no longer associated with drugs in any context.
On account of this, the judge at Stoke on Trent court ruled to drop their prison sentences. Johnson and Timmis were sentenced alongside two Albanian nationals who were involved in the same conspiracy.
Klanth Gjaci was also recruited as a runner, while Blerim Gjomakaj admitted having a more senior role as a 'controller' for a short period of time.The court heard a London-based organised crime gang was running the conspiracy, which centred around Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle, during 2018 and 2019.
