A man has been jailed for three years for his role in a drug-running operation from a Weston flat while the tenant was hospitalised.
Jay Woodman, 25 and of no fixed address, admitted to two charges of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs - crack cocaine and heroin.
The operation was foiled by Avon and Somerset Police officers as part of an investigation into a county line drugs network running between Bristol and Weston.
Investigating officer PC James Abbott said: “Woodman has been given a significant sentence for his role in supplying class A drugs into Weston.
“This case is a prime example of how vulnerable people are exploited by dealers to ply their illegal trade.
“Ensuring this dealer was brought to justice for his crimes is a positive outcome, and will prevent further harm being caused in the communities where these harmful drugs were destined for.”
The offences occurred between March and July this year.
