He Claimed He Was Being ‘Terrorised’ by Drug Dealers But His Phone Told True Story

Liverpool: So, there’s this guy, Peter Billington, who got caught with a bunch of drugs. He tried to play the victim card, saying he was being “terrorised” by dealers. But guess what? His phone told a different story.

When the police raided his place, they found a whole stash of cocaine and cannabis. He was the only one home, and he was caught red-handed. The cops discovered messages on his phone that showed he was actually running a drug operation, not just storing stuff under duress.

He claimed he turned to dealing after a tough time, losing his grandchild and dealing with some serious mental health issues. But the court wasn’t buying it. They found a ton of drugs, including high-purity cocaine and MDMA, all ready for sale.

Billington has a pretty rough past, with previous convictions for serious crimes. His lawyer tried to paint a picture of a guy who had turned his life around after being released from prison, but then fell back into bad habits after some personal tragedies.

In the end, he admitted to possession with intent to supply and got six years in prison. The judge made it clear that drug dealing causes a lot of pain and suffering, and Billington was running a significant operation, not just a small-time gig. He’s got some time to think about his choices now, but he’s hopeful for the future.
