22 year old Dion Reed Probert was already in police custody when officers discovered texts on his phone consistent with drug supply.
The investigation that followed discovered he was dealing Class A drugs in Runnymede, advertising the various types of drugs he would soon have available to sell via text.
During a court hearing, Reed Probert pleaded guilty to drug supply but claimed to be ‘a social dealer’ supplying only to his friends.
The hearing found his claims to be untenable.
He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for being concerned in the supply of Class A (cocaine) and Class B (cannabis and ketamine).
Reed Probert was also sentenced for stalking and perverting the course of justice, for which he was served a five-year restraining order and an additional six months in prison.
Inspector Ian Nash, Borough Commander for Runnymede, said “Our officers will relentlessly pursue those who commit crime in Runnymede, and I’d like to thank the investigating teams for their hard work in securing this action.”
