Daniel York Picture: WILTSHIRE POLICE A COCAINE dealer was caught with a Taser when police officers investigating the alleged breach of a non-molestation order knocked at his door last summer. Daniel York, 35, fell prey to drug addiction after the breakdown of a relationship – then began selling cocaine to pay off a debt and fund his own habit. Over around a year, he made more than £5,500 from selling the drug to a dozen customers. Jailing him for two years and seven months at Swindon Crown Court this week, Judge Jason Taylor QC recognised York’s remorse and the impact that prison would have on his family.

Sending Aaran Draper to prison for more than two-and-a-half years at Swindon Crown Court yesterday, Judge Jason Taylor QC described the 31-year-old as arrogant and selfish. Last month, jurors found him guilty of grievous bodily harm after hearing that Draper had struck his 69-year-old neighbour with a broom handle over their garden fence in The Wyncies, Bishopstone, last July. The neighbour, who had been in hospital in late 2019 and required oxygen to help him breathe, said he’d had had to shut his windows due to the smell. He challenged Draper about the smoking and threw dog biscuits at him, describing the treats as food for the animal.
