A nightmare tenant who planned to flood the streets of Wolverhampton with crack cocaine and heroin has been kicked out of his home in the city.

Steven Evans has been evicted from the property in Brooklands Parade, Eastfield, by Wolverhampton Homes, which manages council properties.

A warrant for possession was carried out earlier this month after he admitted having drugs with intent to supply at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Evans was caught during a police operation tackling guns and drugs in the city after £7,900 worth of class A drugs was discovered in a safe.

The 39-year-old has also been ordered to pay £1,400 in costs after being kicked out of the house.

Mark Henderson, director of housing, said: “Wolverhampton Homes takes a very strong stand against all forms of anti-social behaviour. We will actively go to court and evict a tenant on these grounds.”

A resident living nearby, who did not want to be named, said: “It is good to finally see action is taken against people who cause trouble.

Another tenant has also been banned from his local housing office in Whitmore Reans after allegedly trying to attack a member of staff.

Wolverhampton Homes has secured an anti-social behaviour injunction order against David Highfield, of Manby Close.
