Bodycam footage shows moment drug trafficker ‘screams’ as police wake him up for arrest | News UK

A drug dealer screamed as he was woken up by police in a raid of his home.

Bodycam footage showed an officer shining a torch over Asa McIntosh as he appeared to be asleep on a sofa.

The drug trafficker appears to yelp as he is being arrested.

McIntosh, 21, was part of drug line known as the ‘P Line’ worth over a million pounds, a court heard.

The group of seven had supplied Class A drugs including heroin and crack cocaine across Smethwick, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Birmingham.

Another clip shared by police showed McIntosh showing off a huge wad of cash while rapping that he was once ‘broke as a joke’.

The cabal also filmed a huge block of cocaine before promoting it for sale.

All seven were sentenced to jail on Wednesday after pleading guilty to multiple offences.

Amused social viewers social media commented on the clip showing McIntosh screaming as he was detained.

One said: ‘He screamed like a girl.’

Another wrote: ‘Mugged him right off at the beginning of video. He’ll never live that down.’

Another joked: ‘Fancy waking him up while he was mid way through dreaming of being on Oblivion at Alton Towers.’

Another suggested the drug dealer acted as if he thought he had been visited by aliens.

Detectives investigating P Line found thousands of calls and messages sent and received from phones used to run the operation.

The runners worked seven-hour shifts timed across a 22-hour period each day, seven days a week to meet demand, and sold dozens of kilos of Class A drugs, Birmingham Crown Court heard.

Searches at the addresses resulted in multiple kilos of Class A drugs being recovered along with thousands of pounds in cash.

The operation was run by Zuhayb Abdi, who was assisted by second in command Waqas Hussain, the court heard.

Abdi, 30, of no fixed address, admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply controlled drugs of class A cocaine and heroin. He was jailed for seven years.

Hussain, 27, of Wells Avenue, Darlaston, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to supply class A cocaine and diamorphine. He was jailed for five years.

Bradley Whatmore, Hakeem Ali, Quarnay Lee-Taylor, Rees Macdonald were also jailed for their involvement in the million-pound drug line.

Macdonald, aged 31, of no fixed address, admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply class A cocaine and heroin and one count of kidnapping. He was jailed for six years.

DS Adam Buzzard said: ‘This group ran a significant drugs line around the Black Country and wider area.

‘They were meticulous in their planning to ensure the drug line ran all hours of the day, every day.

‘However, thanks to our excellent investigative skills, we were able to identify those involved in the line and secure significant jail time for all seven.

‘Drugs cause harm within communities and we’re carrying out action day in, day out, to disrupt supply lines across the region.’
