A Somalian refugee who lived off his profits from dealing drugs in Bristol has been jailed for three and a half years after supplying undercover police officers.

Faisal Hassan, known as Sticks, was arrested at his home after dealing crack cocaine and heroin to police during a major drugs operation.

The 24-year-old, of The White Swan Hotel, Robertson Road, Eastville, had also had drug dealing paraphernalia in his room, and gave his phone number to customers.

He was arrested and pleaded guilty to eight charges of supplying Class A drugs.

The court ordered £90 cash seized by police to be confiscated.

Hassan was also ordered to pay £190 towards prosecution costs.
