A drug dealer's little brother was stabbed in the face outside McDonald's after he racked up a £10,000 drug debt.
Liam Carson's mum's house was also petrol bombed after he was allegedly put to work in the "Curly" and "JJ" county lines heroin and cocaine rings in order to pay off the outstanding sum.
The 22-year-old's street sales resulted in him and his associates on one occasion unsuccessfully attempting to hide from the police under a tree.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, he was first caught by Operation Ground - a covert Merseyside Police probe into drug supplying in the Wirral area, supported by the National Crime Agency. At Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, Alaric Walmsley, prosecuting, described how this involved undercover officers making a series of test purchases from dealers during 2021.
After arranging meet-ups with members of the "JJ Line", an unsuspecting Carson handed over packages of "low purity" heroin and cocaine on four occasions in October and November that year. On August 16 last year, North Wales Police then received reports of drug dealing on the Wales Coast Path in the Deeside area.
Police attended and spotted a group of men in dark clothing making off from the scene, before hiding underneath a tree. While they attempted to flee for a second time, Carson - of Valerian Road in Claughton - and another man were detained.
Two SIM cards were found "secreted under the foreskin" of the other male during a strip search, while he also had £500 in cash in his possession. Meanwhile, the defendant was carrying around £400 in cash, with a black Nokia mobile discovered in the undergrowth where the gang had been seeking refuge having been used in conjunction with one of the aforementioned SIMs.
