Husband Jailed For Drug-Dealing After Charges Against Wife Dropped

Adam & Kawinna Hamerton

A drug-dealer is starting a four-and-a-half year prison sentence after admitting charges his wife was cleared of.

Adam Hamerton, 38, and Kawinna Hamerton, 38, of Dalton Street, St. Albans, Hertfordshire were both arrested and charged with drug offences in south-east London.

The Crown Prosecution Service dropped their case against Kawinna, but Adam was jailed after a defence request to enter guilty pleas at Croydon Crown Court.

Police say that in Southlands Road, Bromley on September 8, 2014 they seized 986 ecstacy tablets, plus the fragments of a dozen more tablets and 3.4 kilos of amphetamine split into three packages.

Also recovered were two packages of cannabis, weighing 2.04 grammes and 34.9 grammes respectively and £28,000 in cash, which the prosecution says is the profits of drug-dealing.

Adam pleaded guilty to possessing class A and class B drug, with intent to supply, and possessing criminal property.
