Craig Walker’s bizarre attempt to escape trouble came as he was arrested by police with 70 cracks in his pants, just weeks after his release from prison. A Liverpool Crown Judge has warned him that he could risk losing his life if he did not stop using Class A drugs to fund his addiction. Prosecutioner Anthony O’Donohoe said police located Walker, 30, during a suspicious drug deal on the edge of downtown on May 17, 2020. The car left Angela Street and Pennygate Close and after seeing someone get in the car to buy drugs the police stopped the vehicle.

Police noticed he was shaking in the middle of his pants. “Then his hands went inside his pants and he came out empty-handed, making the officer believe that he had secreted something inside them.” They found a phone at the scene that appeared to indicate drug trafficking, but only after further investigation at the police station did police find that he had hidden 70 crack packs as well as some cocaine packs. Officers found further information about transactions in his home, such as scales and bags, and asked Walker about it during the interview as well. Mr O’Donohoe said: “He told them he was a drug user and that he had ‘put the drugs in his underwear before he went out’. He also said that he was surfing on the couch and that the bags with buttons had to hold chicken nuggets and the scales had to weigh the food “. Walker, who had just been released on bail in the middle of a 32-month prison sentence for cocaine trafficking when he was stopped, admitted possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and was convicted today. Defendant Jason Smith said Walker had accepted responsibility for the transaction, but said it was largely due to his addiction. He said: “Most of his adult life he was a drug user and addicted. It is an almost inevitable consequence for someone in his position to mingle with people who sell drugs and drugs for them. It’s a cycle from which he could not pull himself out. “ The court heard that Walker had been addicted to drugs for much of his adult life. Mr Smith said that in the days following his arrest, Walker had been badly beaten by associates for missing drugs in the investigation. He said: “You will see that they shared their own punishment because he lost drugs.” Judge David Swinerton said he acknowledged that Walker “did not make thousands of pounds out of it”, but added that “it still played an important role and made some money”. He jailed Walker, Richard Kelly Drive, for four years and warned him that his term in prison would only continue if he did not change his ways. Judge Swinnerton said: “The only way to break this cycle is to distance yourself from those who take drugs, those who take drugs. “Otherwise you will come in and out, the penalties will increase and you will waste your life.” Walker nodded and replied, “I will lose my family too.” His supporters cried and nodded as they led him to the cells from the dock.
