Drug dealer vows to change after seeing 'some bad things' in prison

'WHEN I GET OUT, I AM GOING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE MY LIFE GOOD AND LEGITIMATE ONCE AGAIN'

A DRUG dealer who was found hiding cocaine with a purity of 92 per cent has vowed to change his ways after seeing “some bad things” during his “horrible” time in prison.

Harvey Fox now realised how “precious” his liberty was and, when the day came that he could “walk out of the prison gates” at last, he never wanted to look back.

He had learned his lesson and he wanted to change, Hull Crown Court heard. Fox, 21, of Raglan Street, west Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply and possessing a sword and a knuckle duster as offensive weapons in a private place on September 9.

Cathy Kioko-Gilligan, prosecuting, said that police stopped a car in Beverley Road, Hull, and saw Fox and other occupants in it at about 11am.

Fox gave his name as “Harvey Smith” but his real identity was later confirmed from social media on his mobile phone.
