Cocaine dealer in court after undercover police operation

A drug dealer who sold cocaine to undercover police has been committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

Steven Menton, of Boilley Spittal in Peel, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 41-year-old was outside Sam Webbs pub August 12 when he sold 0.5g of cocaine to plainclothes officers for £100.

He was arrested on February 6 this year in Castletown.

Menton admitted supplying cocaine and his case was sent to the higher court, where he'll next appear on March 1.

He was bailed with a 7pm-7am curfew.
