Drug dealer shouting racist slur at police officer sent to jail

A DRUG dealer, who abused officers attempting to arrest him for class A drugs, has been jailed last week.

Daniel Segwere, of Tortmayns, Rotherham was sentenced to three years in a Young Offenders' Institution at Derby Crown Court after admitting possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine, possession of cannabis, possession of a knife, and using racially aggravated threatening, insulting or abusive words.

A police report says he was found in possession of large quantity of heroin, crack cocaine and hundreds of pounds of cash when he was stopped by patrolling officers in Stockbrook, on June 13 this year.

The 20-year-old initially ran away and when cornered by an officer, he lifted his shirt to show a large knife, which he attempted to discard.

On arrest, he shouted a racist slur at the arresting officer.

He was sentenced to three years on October 21.
