KWAME DALILA, 28, WAS FOUND WITH NEARLY £54,000 WORTH OF CLASS A SUBSTANCES AT HIS ADDRESS 05:30, 04 Jun 2025 A serving prisoner has been given more than two years extra jail time after

Wolverhampton. He also admitted a separate charge of violent disorder and received six years and eight months in total. READ MORE: TRADER CHARGED £350 FOR £3 RAT POISON AFTER BIRMINGHAM

COUNCIL GIRLFRIEND GAVE HIM ILLEGAL WORK CONTRACTS But the 28-year-old was sentenced to an extra two years and two months, to be served consecutively, at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday,

June 3, for two separate drugs cases. In January 2023 he was stopped in a Volkswagen Golf in Shrewsbury. Article continues below Clingfilm, mobile phones, a small amount of cannabis and £650

in cash were seized. More drugs equipment was found at his then-home in Walsall. "His phone was examined and contained evidence of street dealing as part of the 'Jay' county

line," said prosecutor Tom Walkling KC. Dalila was on bail for those offences when police found a gun at his address in Oxford Street, Wolverhampton, in November 2023. They also

recovered 326 grams of heroin and 44 grams of cocaine as well as small amounts of cannabis and £695 in cash. It was estimated the class A drugs were worth nearly £54,000 if divided up into

separate deals. Dalila admitted two offences of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs as well as possession of cannabis, MDMA (ecstasy) and criminal property for the Shrewsbury

incident and two counts of possession of class A drugs in relation to the drugs seized in Wolverhampton. Kwame appeared at his latest sentencing hearing on a video-link from HMP Parc in

Wales. Justin Jarmola, defending, said: "He has been an enhanced prisoner for quite some time and has a trusted job as a wing cleaner. "It has been quite crushing for Mr Kwame to

be absent from his son for such a period of time. "He's been bounced around prison to an extent. His familial visits have been interrupted quite significantly." The barrister

said Kwame had missed out on rehabilitative courses in custody due to being moved from a sentence prison to a remand prison. Article continues below Judge John Butterfield KC expressed

'mystification and disbelief' that the drugs and firearms cases were not dealt with as part of the same set of legal proceedings. He told Kwame: "You are spending far too much

of your prime years behind bars in prison. "When you get out, my hope is you get a chance to start again with a clean slate."
