Miss Recorder Jo Kidd sentenced Edwards to 16 months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, with programme and rehabilitation requirements.

The judge told him: "The text messages show clearly you were operating as a street dealer at the material time."

Jamie Adams, mitigating, said Edwards was "hopelessly addicted" to drugs at the time but has made significant progress to deal with his problems and has stayed away from trouble since that time.

Mr Adams added: "His nickname says it all about how everyone regarded him, he always appeared to be stupified with drugs or alcohol.

"It was his addiction to drugs, of one kind or another, which led to him being given the nickname 'Jonny-on-one'."
