On April 9, a 32-year-old guy from Stafford named Eston Bennett just got slapped with five years in six months in prison for running a post. Crack cocaine supply line. He kicked it off on January 13th last year, the exact day he walked free from his previous sentence. Pleading guilty as Shrewsbury Crown Court this week, sealed the deal after coughs busted him. Earlier this year on March 4th, police nap him in Telford inside a car loaded with a wrap of the drug, 170 pounds in cash, and a, burner phone tied straight to that new line. Bennett's no stranger to this game. He'd only served one year of a six-year stretch for other drug crimes before getting out early. That line stayed hot for seven weeks, pumping class, aid drugs into Telford and even across into Wales, feeding the street trade big time. West Marcia cops are calling it a blatant dive back into crime, and this stiff sentence shows they're not playing, locking down suppliers to cut off. The poison at the source.
