A 28-year-old Newport man who was arrested not long after his release from a prison term for a drugs offence has admitted a fresh supply charge.
Jordan Kiely, of Walford Davies Drive, entered a guilty plea when he appeared before Judge Vanessa Francis at Cardiff Crown Court.
The plea
Kiely admitted one count:
- Being concerned in the supply of a class A drug between 25 July and 5 October
Judge Francis remanded him in custody until he is sentenced.
Earlier conviction
Kiely had previously been handed a 30-month custodial sentence for possessing cocaine with intent to supply. He was arrested shortly after he was released from prison for that offence.
It has also been reported that Kiely became addicted to drugs after his toe was amputated following an accident at work.
Legal representation
Gareth Williams represented Kiely, and Alex Orndall prosecuted.
What happens next
Kiely is due to be sentenced on Wednesday 18 November.
