Reading Man Jailed for Nearly Five Years Over Class A Drug Supply
Marvin Lewis, 37, from Florian Gardens, Reading, has been locked up for nearly five years after pleading guilty to supplying class A drugs. The sentence was handed down at Reading Crown Court on Monday (9/11).
Caught Twice with Huge Hoards of Class A
Lewis was nabbed not once, but twice by police between August and October 2020. Both stops uncovered large quantities of controlled class A substances, leading to four counts of possession with intent to supply.
He was first arrested on 12 August 2020 and then again on 5 October 2020, facing charges soon after each bust.
