A TEEN drug dealer who sobbed as he was jailed has been labelled a key player in Swindon's crack and heroin trade.
Jacob Wyness, 18, was sentenced to 26 months imprisonment for dealing class A drugs in the town.
As reported in today's Adver, Wyness cried and asked to see his mother as he was jailed at Swindon Crown Court. Judge Jason Taylor QC said: “If you swim with sharks you can hardly be surprised if you get bitten.”

As part of our enquiries we found a substantial amount of messages on his phone which linked Wyness to a number of drug users in the town.
“Drug activity is simply unacceptable and we will continue to target individuals like Wyness who bring class A drugs to our streets.”
