Garrucha man jailed for dealing cocaine

    A 32 year old man was imprisoned for three years by the Almeria Provincial High Court for cocaine dealing. The man, a resident of Garrucha, was arrested in 2004.

    The man was observed by the Guardia Civil on November 7, 2004 at about one in the morning, meeting various different people briefly next to a public telephone on the Paseo del Malecon in Garrucha. After observing him some time and recognising the man as being a known drug dealer in the locality the Guardia Civil stopped him and searched him when the man left the scene and drove away. He was found to be in possession of a substance which after analysis was confirmed to be 3.2 grams of cocaine with a street value estimated by the Guardia Civil to be around 300 euros. The man also had 1,489 euros in cash on him at the time.
