The brother of LIBERTY X singer JESSICA TAYLOR has been sentenced to almost three years behind bars, after pleading guilty to possessing and intending to supply cocaine yesterday (19DEC06).
SAMUEL TAYLOR, 22, became a drug dealer after losing his job as a plumber and police found cocaine worth £1,100 ($2,145) when they raided his Preston, England home, as well as weighing scales and cannabis seeds.
Judge ANDREW WOOLMAN said at Preston Crown Court, "You acted out of idiocy and greed." Samuel will serve two years and nine months in prison, and faces a proceeds from crime hearing in May (07).
His sister Jessica has scored a string of UK chart hits with Liberty X and is currently dating England cricketer KEVIN PIETERSEN.
