Drug dealer allowed to stay in Britain after promising to only smoke cannabis

A Jamaican drug dealer avoided deportation after he promised to only smoke cannabis and not sell it.

Jamaican Shawn Rickford McLeod, 40, who came to Britain in 2000 was issued with a deportation order after being jailed for three years and four months for three counts of supplying class A drugs.

He appealed the order on the grounds that it would breach his rights to a family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as he had three young children in the UK with his wife.
