Racist Wellingborough drug dealer jailed

Reese Taylor, 26, has been jailed after admitting five offences at Northampton Crown Court.

Taylor was at the court for sentence earlier this week after pleading guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply them on September 22 last year.

The court also heard that on July 26 he had committed racially-aggravated public order offences which were targeted at a police officer. He also admitted assaulting one of the officers.

Taylor, of Nest Farm Crescent, Wellingborough, was before Her Honour Judge Adrienne Lucking KC on Wednesday (March 18) where he was sentenced to four years and 18 weeks in prison. She also ordered the destruction of the drugs.
