A DRUG dealer from Brierley Hill who rammed three police cars before being caught with guns and class A drugs has been jailed for more than a decade.

Nathan Morris was arrested on 26 August last year after he was spotted by police dealing drugs from his car in Church Street, Darlaston.

When officers approached, the 28-year-old reversed back at speed and tried to get away and crashed into three police cars and another stationary vehicle.

Officers managed to stop the car and restrained Morris while a search of the vehicle revealed several wraps of suspected Class A drugs and two mobile phones.

After Morris’ arrest, a search warrant was executed at his home address in Madison Avenue they found a large quantity of heroin and cocaine.

Outside a black Ford Mondeo, for which Morris had the key, contained further class A drugs and two firearms - a bolt action shotgun and a smooth bore revolver - along with shotgun shells.

He was charged with possession of two firearms and ammunition, possession of class A drugs and dangerous driving.

At the start of the hearing on Wednesday 3 February at Wolverhampton Crown Court he changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to ten years and three months.

Inspector Keeley Bevington said: "This lengthy sentence shows that gun and drug crime have no place in our communities and is the latest conviction in our fight to take firearms and drugs off our streets."
