Steven Semmens was charged at Swansea Crown Court along with four other cocaine conspirators for their involvement in selling the Class A drug.
A British man who snorted cocaine off Pablo Escobar's grave and vowed 'never to return' to Colombia after getting in a brawl with local cartels has been put behind bars for drug dealing. Steven Semmens and four other cocaine conspirators were sentenced to more than 52 years between them in prison for their involvement in selling the Class A drug.
Another defendant, Swansea plumber Andrew Botto had been using a shipping container hidden behind camouflage netting and fencing just yards away from a busy road as a base for his independent cocaine-dealing business. Police found a 1kg block of high-purity cocaine in a cool bag when they forced entry to the locked unit in May last year along with bags, weighing scales and disposable gloves.
He said that the 'naive' prank made it very 'awkward' for him to get a job and added: "I just thought it would be a laugh, I didn't think it would go this far... I was drunk at the time... I've been bombarded with threats that I'm going to get skinned alive."
