Easton Griffiths, known by his customers as "Pops", sold class A drugs at his flat in Radford, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Friday.

Griffiths, of Highcross Court, admitted eight counts of supplying crack cocaine and being involved in the supply of heroin.

Jailing Giffiths for three years, Judge Richard Pollard told him it was sad to see a man of 72 with no criminal record in the dock charged with such serious offences.

He said Griffiths had decided to indulge in a very dangerous game and had been caught out.
