A DRUG dealer wept as a crown court judge jailed him for two years.

At Carlisle Crown Court, Christopher John Gill, 29, had just admitted supplying the class A drugs heroin and crack cocaine, and possessing the latter with intent to supply.

Police caught Gill - a heroin addict - red-handed on April 7.

When police officers analysed his mobile phone they found that he had boasted of how his illegal enterprise would "start small but get bigger".

He made a full confession of in an interview.

Gill, of Dowbeck Road, Carlisle, sobbed as he was sent to prison by Recorder Kevin Grice, with the judge telling him: "These are very serious offences indeed."
