Machete-wielding teenage Wolverhampton drug dealer who told victim 'snitches get stitches' is locked up
A Wolverhampton drug dealer who attacked a boy with a machete has been jailed for five years and six months.
Sarnuas Balsuris, 19, of John Street, Ettingshall, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, three counts of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply, having a blade in a public place and handling stolen goods.
Balsuris was found guilty of attacking a boy with a machete last year after a trial but pleaded guilty to the other offences before the various trials started.
Whilst on bail Balsuris continued to deal drugs but was caught red-handed twice by officers who spotted him acting suspiciously. After being chased he was apprehended and found with more than 100 wraps of crack cocaine.
He was also at the scene of a knifepoint robbery in Ettingshall Park in July this year when an electric scooter was stolen but then recovered 20 minutes later at Balsuris's home due to a GPS tag.
