His gran eventually had to bail him out
DEBT-RIDDEN Sean Burton sold three types of drugs to reduce the money he owed to his dealer.
The 22-year-old was just 16 when he was introduced to drugs and ran up a £13,000 debt.
He was pressured to sell heroin, cocaine and cannabis to reduce the debt. But police busted the operation after investigating two drugs lines.
Now Burton has been jailed for 31 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.
Police arrested Burton on January 9. They seized his phone and attended his address. They recovered a blue wrap containing 2.3 grams of cocaine; 4.78 grams of heroin; digital scales with traces of heroin, cocaine and caffeine; 9.47 grams of cannabis; an iPhone; and £45.
The iPhone was registered to the defendant's then partner.
