A drug dealer who was caught with more than £13,000 of crack cocaine and heroin has been sentenced today to two years in prison.

Sonny Mannion, 17, was caught by police after he was seen dealing drugs to a man in Portland Road, in Summertown, Oxford, in March.

Mannion, of Banbury Road, Oxford, was convicted after a trial at Oxford Crown Court.

He claimed he was kidnapped by three men who held him hostage and threatened to kill his mother and dog if he did not help sell the drugs.
