A young gangster – caged for his role in a notorious drugs shooting on a Sheffield estate – is back behind bars after he was caught with £300 worth of skunk cannabis.
Labourer Ryan Lewis, 23, of Seabrook Court, Park Hill, was jailed for nine years at the city’s crown court after his gang shot 29 year-old drug dealer Lennox Ellis on the Park Hill estate.
He was released from prison on licence, but seven months later was caught by plain-clothes police outside Beckenham Railway Station,(pictured) Bromley, South-East London.
Lewis pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown Court to possessing a total of 54.4 gms of cannabis, with intent to supply, on May 17.
The court heard three officers were staking out the station after a series of bike thefts when they stopped and search suspicious-looking Lewis.
Inside his puffa jacket was a black plastic bag containing 25.4 gms of cannabis divided into twenty-five individual wraps.
Police also searched an address in Chichester Mews, West Norwood, South London, where Lewis was staying with relatives and seized another 29 gms of cannabis stuffed inside another black plastic bag.
The defendant – sentenced in 2004 for wounding, with intent, after Ellis was shot in the back of the leg – was immediately recalled to prison and now has a release date of December 2012.
He was part of a gang trying to overthrow the estate’s main drug dealer and control the crack cocaine trade.
Lewis has a conviction for drug dealing and was also convicted of attacking a fellow-prisoner.
He claims prison has been hell and now suffers anxiety attacks after being stabbed in the back and arm by an inmate.
Lewis was sentenced to eleven months imprisonment to run concurrently with his nine-year sentence.
