Two men jailed for Bournemouth drug dealing
One of them also admitted assaulting an emergency worker
Two drug dealers, who attacked a police officer in Bournemouth, have been jailed for a total of almost five years.
Gideon Yeboah, aged 19, and Mohammed Khan, aged 18, and both of no fixed abode, have been sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court, after admitting possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Yeboah also pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker - he's been jailed for two years and two months.
Khan has been sentenced to two years and six months.
ÂŁ4,000 worth of heroin and cocaine were found in a flat in East Overcliff Drive, where officers carried out a search warrant in December.
The pair were both arrested at the scene, after having tried to leave down a fire escape - assaulting an officer in the process.
