Drug dealer arrested after police chase jailed

A drug dealer who drove at speeds of more than 50mph through a housing estate as he tried to evade police has been jailed. Morgan Swindells, 23, of Denby Road, Barnsley, was found with 127 wraps of cocaine, more than £500 in cash and a suspected burner mobile phone when he was arrested in Athersley on 14 May. He was stopped by a police officer who recognised his car as one suspected of being involved in supplying drugs in the area, police said. Swindells admitted charges including possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday and was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison. He also admitted dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. He was also charged with obstructing a PC but this was dismissed at court. South Yorkshire Police said he was arrested when PC Rebecca Hunt, from the Barnsley North East neighbourhood policing team, spotted a silver Renault Megane while on a routine patrol in Athersley. She activated her blue lights requesting the driver to stop, but when he carried on driving she followed him until he stopped and got out of the car. PC Hunt managed to arrest Swindells close to his car. PC Hunt said: "Drug dealing and drug use in our community is a significant issue, and is often the cause of lots of acquisitive crime. "We had received recent intelligence from the local community to suggest that this vehicle was involved in the supply of Class A drugs throughout our area. "Due to fear of repercussions, Swindells failed to stop and drove dangerously through a housing estate, reaching speeds of up to 50mph, showing a complete disregard for the safety of pedestrians and other road users. "We will continue to prioritise drug dealing in our area, and will ensure that those caught supplying illegal substances in our area are dealt with robustly."
