A CONVICTED drug dealer was warned he is facing prison time after he pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine.
Gareth Hall, 22, of Mill Heath, Bettws, Newport, admitted possession of the class A drug with intent to supply on April 13, 2019.
He entered a guilty plea at a hearing before Judge Jeremy Jenkins at Cardiff Crown Court.
Hall’s barrister Ruth Smith asked for sentence to be adjourned so that the Probation Service could prepare a report on her client.
