HE 'GOT HIMSELF INTO QUITE A MESS'
A BUDDING young Hull FC rugby player turned in despair to cannabis, and ended up furtively dealing drugs in a cemetery, after disaster struck and he had to give up a dream scholarship.
Lennon Milner fell into a drug debt and was told that he could pay the money off by acting as a runner for cocaine and cannabis dealing.
His disgusted girlfriend later deleted all the drug-related contacts on his mobile phone, Hull Crown Court heard.
Milner, 23, of West Parade, west Hull, admitted being concerned in supplying cocaine and cannabis on October 29.
Chloe Pinches, prosecuting, said that plainclothes police in Princes Avenue, west Hull, saw a man going into the nearby cemetery in Spring Bank West at 11am and meeting up with Milner.
