‘Money or weed!’: Preston drug dealer’s demand ends in horrific Halloween beating
Levi Wilson, 33, was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison after pleading guilty to wounding with intent following a violent Halloween confrontation at a victim’s flat in Ingol, Preston. Wilson allegedly demanded “money or weed,” threatened the victim with a knife and repeatedly punched him, causing multiple facial fractures, permanent scarring, vision problems and PTSD. The judge noted Wilson’s previous drug-dealing conviction, breach of licence conditions and cocaine use, while acknowledging his role as a father. The victim’s injuries have affected his employment, finances, family relationships and daily life.
