A 23-year-old Clitheroe man has been jailed for a year for drug dealing.
Max Yates of Lowergate, appeared at Preston Crown Court for sentence for possession of ecstasy with intent to supply and possession of ketamine.
Judge Philip Sycamore told him: "Those who involve themselves in the supply of Class A drugs can only expect to receive a custodial sentence to deter others from involving themselves in this dangerous trade." .

Mr David Macro, prosecuting, told the court the offences took place in July last year. A supervisor at Clitheroe Social Club on Wellgate became suspicious and when Yates was searched drugs were found on him. The ecstasy had a street value of £325.
Yates had pleaded guilty on the basis he was a user himself. Friends had requested him to provide tablets and he would supply small scale to a small group known to him over a seven week period.

Peer a little closer at Clitheroe. Not hard to do. Behind the back lanes, the council homes *well, some of them*, some of the town centre's pubs ... Castle Keep at night. And you will find there is more of this goes on there than you will find in 'Lancashire Life'.
Has been for years.
Every paradise has it's snake. Depends how well hidden it is, though.

"Judge Philip Sycamore told him: "Those who involve themselves in the supply of Class A drugs can only expect to receive a custodial sentence to deter others from involving themselves in this dangerous trade."
And a year is a deterent? I don't think so, especially as he won't even serve that long.
Now 10 years for a first offence and ten extra each subsequent conviction, that might be a deterent.
