Harsh Sentences Handed Down at Woolwich Crown Court

Drug Ring Roles Revealed: Boss, Line Holders, and Runners
Prosecutors explained McKenna led the operation, with Tilley and Domala as “line holders” overseeing dealers like Spearpoint. Spearpoint, who struggled with drug addiction, was forced into the business under threats of violence.
McKenna wasn’t a first-timer—he had a prior 2017 conviction for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. His barrister, Mark Stevens, claimed financial troubles pushed him back into drug dealing.
The court also heard Spearpoint tried to dodge capture by reversing into a police car, crashing into parked vehicles. He’s now banned from driving until he passes an extended retest.
Judge Charlotte Welsh ordered confiscation of drugs, cash, and a fake Rolex seized from McKenna during the bust.
