English drug dealer refuses to appear in Welsh court because he 'can't understand the accent'

A drug dealer from Wolverhampton has refused to appear in court in Wales, claiming that he can't understand what anyone says.

Dwaine Campbell, 25, was arrested in Aberystwyth and admitted to possessing heroin with intent to supply.

But when he due to be sentenced at Swansea Crown Court, he refused to leave his cell on the grounds that if he was convicted in Wales he would be imprisoned in Wales and wouldn't be able to understand anyone in jail.

His lawyer, Janet Gedrych, told Wales Online that he complained that he couldn’t understand what anyone in Aberystwyth said and they struggled to understand his accent.

“He is worried that if he is sentenced here he will end up in a jail in Wales and have the same difficulties,” she said.

Campbell was transfered to a prison in the Midlands after making his complaint.
The Welsh judge accepted his argument and decided he could be sentenced next month via a video link “so he can stay in the west Midlands.”
