A British father, who was reportedly was found with £2,000 cocaine in Dubai, has been sentenced to four decades behind bars in a 'hellhole' jail. Sam Dorman, 33, from Glosop, Manchester, was taken into custody following a police operation earlier this month. He allegedly was in the possession of half a gram of the Class A substance when he was arrested last week. After this, local police are believed to have discovered 28g of the drug of the same substance at his property. On British shores, that is estimated to be worth around £2,000, however in the United Arab Emirates it could sell for three times more. Dubai is well-renowned for its zero tolerance when it comes to illegal substances. The father-of-one, who had migrated to Dubai in 2022 to begin a business, was first arrested last week. Last Monday, the barber and tattoo artist was sentenced to 40 years behind bars at Al-Awir Central Prison, which infamous for its poor conditions and brutality. Detailing how Dorman's family, a source said they were 'understandably distraught' after the tattoo artist was locked away in the 'hellhole' prison A source told The Sun: 'He's got a young daughter in the UK, so to be serving 40 years is really sad. He won't be out till he's in his 70s.' Detailing how Dorman's family, the source said they were 'understandably distraught' after the tattoo artist was locked away in the 'hellhole' prison. They added: 'When they spoke to him, it looked like he'd taken a battering. I just hope someone can help him.' The source went on to claim the father-of-one became a part of 'the wrong crowd' while in the Middle Eastern country. They believed a customer, who Dorman had sold drugs to, had been apprehended by the police. They claimed police then took his phone and messaged the tattoo artist, in a bid to pretend to be the buyer and asked for more. 'Sam stupidly went and the police were waiting. At this point he was nabbed,' they added.
