Cocaine factory flat man jailed.


A MAN who allowed his flat to be used as a cocaine factory was jailed for four years yesterday.

Police raided Alan Wilson's home after a tip-off.

Inside, they discovered more than 2kg of cocaine with a street value of pounds 90,000.

They also found glucose powder, a hydraulic pump, a plastic bucket and rubber gloves.

Wilson, 52, told them he was paid pounds 300 for looking after the cocaine and drugs paraphernalia PARAPHERNALIA. The name given to all such things as a woman has a right to retain as her own property, after her husband's death; they consist generally of her clothing, jewels, and ornaments suitable to her condition, which she used personally during his life. .

In court, he admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine in November last year.

Brian Fitzpatrick Brian Fitzpatrick is the name of:
  • Brian Fitzpatrick (Vicar Apostolic of Ossory) (1585-1652), who was murdered by Cromwellian soldiers. He was instrumental in saving the "Book of the O'Byrne", which he had transcribed, from destruction.
, defending, said Wilson, of Haughburn Terrace, Pollok, Glasgow, had been down on his luck and allowed himself to be used by others.

He suffered from diabetes and depression and his partner had left him because of his drinking.

Jailing Wilson, judge Lord Bracadale told him: "Persons who are prepared to allow their house to be used in this way run a high risk and, when detected, must expect a long prison sentence."
