Mexican Mayor Shot Dead Just Two Hours After Taking Office

A pair of student drug dealers have been spared jail after a judge was impressed by the 'spelling and grammar' of the texts they sent advertising their product.

Luke Rance, 19, and Brandon Kerrison, 21, were arrested outside a Swansea library when they were found in possession of the Class B drug.

A court heard police examined their mobile phones to find text messages relating to their drug deals composed using perfect spelling and punctuation. 

Judge David Hale said the 'grammar and punctuation' in the messages was of a much higher standard than normally seen from dealers and indicated a higher level of education.

Swansea Crown Court heard one message from Kerrison's phone said: 'Mad flavours from 10 tonight - let me know for more details'.

The court heard Kerrison was studying a course in construction at Llansamlet construction college in Swansea.

While performing arts-lover Rance was due to start a degree later this year having studied at Gower College Swansea. 


Judge Hale said he did not want to 'fetter the prospects' of either man by sending them to jail.

Instead Kerrison and Rance were handed community orders with 100 hours of unpaid work.

Kerrison, of Southgate, Swansea, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
