Corey Bowers, 24, was living in a house of multiple occupancy in Whitehouse Gardens, Ditherington, Shrewsbury, when police carried out a raid.
They found drugs including cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis, as well as cash and phones with incriminating texts which clearly showed that Bowers was dealing.
Prosecutor Gerry Bermingham told Shrewsbury Crown Court: “There was a considerable amount of telephone traffic that clearly indicated activity of a drug supply nature.”
Bowers, of Hearne Way, Monkmoor, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty to three charges of possession of drugs with intent to supply, three charges of being concerned in the supply of drugs, and one of possessing criminal property. The raid took place on August 8, 2019.
