Drug dealer jailed for seven years after being caught out on Instagram

They say you should be careful what you post online. This guy didn’t listen. And now he is spending the next seven years in prison after posting a range of snaps of his Champagne lifestyle – which he funded by dealing drugs. Levi Watson, 29, from Wolverhampton posed alongside Lamborghinis, Rolex watches, baths full of cash and a Premier League footballer on Instagram, despite telling cops he had no steady income. In one snap he is relaxing in a bubble bath surrounded by £20 notes, and another showed three watches wrapped around a Porsche Panamera gear stick with the caption: ‘Have you seen a 100k well if you haven’t this what a hundred k plus look like.’ A third image, showing a gold watch surrounded by Jamaican thousand dollar bills, is captioned: ‘When your sitting on over quarter of a million but you tell them it’s pennies.’ He was jailed last week for his role in a drugs ring supplying cocaine and heroin, as part of a huge drugs bust by West Midlands Police. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. Dealers in the ring got sentenced to more than 130 years behind bars between them. West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said: ‘Hopefully the memory of his cash-filled bath and pink champagne will keep him warm at night while he spends the next seven years behind bars.’ | Metro News via IFTTT
