Brazen Drug Dealer Jordan Parker Busted and Banged Up for Five Years
Jordan Parker, a shameless Tyneside drug dealer, has been jailed for five years after cops found crack cocaine, weapons, and a stash of cash at his Gateshead home. Despite being under investigation, Parker kept brazenly breaking the law.
Drugs, Guns, and Dangerous Weapons Discovered
Police from Northumbria, working as part of Project Adder to tackle drug crime, raided Parker’s address on Denton View. They uncovered a lethal mix including crack cocaine, cannabis, a BB gun, machete, knuckle duster, taser, and even an extendable baton. Cash was also found stashed around the property.
The officer’s search followed an earlier raid in May 2022, when they seized £1,500 worth of drugs hidden in a disguised coke can, as well as weapons.
Crash, Custody & Court: Parker’s Crime Spree Ends
After multiple arrests, Parker hit headlines again in July when he crashed his car into a wall in Winlaton. Members of the public detained him until police arrived. Officers seized a machete, nearly £2,000 cash, and more drugs from the car.
Charged with 14 offences – including conspiracy to supply drugs, possession of firearms, and careless driving – Parker appeared at Newcastle Crown Court and was promptly locked up for five years.
Police Praise Public for Bringing Brazen Dealer to Justice
“Jordan Parker was brazen in breaking the law. Not only was he aware he was under investigation, but he was caught two months later with illegal substances after a dangerous crash,” said Detective Sergeant Fran Joyce of Northumbria Police.
“Thanks to the public’s quick action in detaining him, we secured a strong case resulting in his conviction. Communities are fed up with criminals like Parker thinking they can flout the law.”
“Project Adder will carry on disrupting supply chains, supporting vulnerable people, and prosecuting offenders to protect our communities.”
