duster, a cannabis grind-
er, a bong and two mobile
phones.
A total of £25 in cash
was found in his wallet
and he was arrested.
Further searches of his
home address were later
conducted, and a 15-gram
bag of cannabis with six
further deal bags were
found along with £240 in
cash.
During his police inter
view, Page made a full ad-
mission, the court heard,
and was ‘utterly candid’
about his offences.
He explained that he
had been selling for sev-
eral months and the
scales were used to split
the cannabis into sepa—
rate deals which he sold
for £10 a time.
He said he sold to ap-
proximately 20 people
regularly in the Here-
fordshire area, arranging
deals over the phone.
The knuckle cluster was
there for protection, the
court heard, as Page had
previously been involved
in an incident where
money and drugs had
been taken from him.
Page admitted four of-
fences of possessing an
offensive weapon in a
public place, supplying
a controlled class B drug
and two counts of pos—
sessing a class B drug
with intent to supply.
Defending Page at Her-
eford Crown Court last
week, Michael Aspinall
said the teenager had
been using cannabis him
self since the age of 13.
All those he sold to were
friends or acquaintances,
he added.
He had come off can-
nabis over the New Year
period, Mr Aspinall said,
and felt ‘ashamed’ of
what he had done.
Page’s father would be
able to get him a job, the
court heard, and part
of the job requirement
was drug testing, which
would keep him clean.
“He’s an intelligent

young man who wants to
work and move forward
with his life and get away
from what he did in the
past,” said Mr Aspinall.
“He’s committed to
change and will be a good
member of the commu-
nity.”
Judge Daniel Pearce-
Higgins, said it was clear
that Page was a ‘foolish
young man’ who wanted
to do better.
He sentenced Page to a
community order of 24
months with a drug re-
habilitation requirement
and 150 hours of unpaid
work.
