Louie Mulholland, 32, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday 11th February after admitting multiple counts of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs, along with possession of criminal property.

Mulholland was arrested in December during proactive police patrols in the city centre after officers witnessed him dealing drugs.

He was found in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, amphetamine and cannabis, as well as more than £4,000 in cash.

He pleaded guilty to the offences in January and was sentenced last month.

PC Kayleigh Hole, the investigating officer, said: “The supply of illegal drugs within our communities causes untold harm and preys on their most vulnerable members.

“The wider impact of this type of crime can be seen and felt by all, with related incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour, which are a priority for the neighbourhood policing team.

“We are committed to identifying and bringing to justice people like Mulholland who are responsible for this harm.”
