A BORDERS man who admitted two drug-dealing offences has been jailed for 12 months at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
Darren Crawford, 37, of Galashiels, pleaded guilty to two charges of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
The Crown accepted a not guilty plea to being in possession of a class A drug.
Sheriff Peter Paterson said he would have imposed 18 months but reduced the sentence to 12 months due to the guilty plea.
The sentence was also back-dated to February 16 when Crawford was first remanded in custody in connection with the case.
