A drug dealer from the West Midlands has refused to appear in court in Wales because he can’t understand what anyone says.
Dwaine Campbell, 25, was arrested in Aberystwyth delivering 51 wraps of heroin.
Campbell, from Wolverhampton, was kept in custody in Wales for seven days before being transferred to a prison near his home.
His barrister, Janet Gedrych, said he complained that he couldn’t understand what anyone in Aberystwyth said and they struggled to understand his accent. “He is worried that if he is sentenced here he will end up in a jail in Wales and have the same difficulties,” she said.
Campbell has admitted possessing heroin with intent to supply. He was due to be sentenced at Swansea Crown Court but refused to leave his prison cell. Judge Heywood said he would sentence Campbell via a video link “so he can stay in the West Midlands.” Campbell will now be sentenced next month.
