A party boy Brighton drug dealer engaged in a profit making meth, MDMA and cocaine racket has avoided a conviction after moving back in with mum.

Louis Armstrong, 19, was sentenced in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court to a 12-month community correction order after pleading guilty to trafficking meth, MDMA and cocaine.

Armstrong was nabbed with 199g of meth and $15,000 cash after he was pulled over by police at Scoresby on July 30 last year.

Armstrong, who also pleaded guilty to drug possession charges and dealing with property of suspected of being the proceeds of crime, was also caught with cocaine, ecstasy, 1,4 butanediol and clonazepam.

The defence submitted Armstrong, who works two jobs, emigrated to Australia from the UK when he was a child and had yet to apply for his Australian citizenship.

The court heard a conviction could derail the teen’s Australian citizenship hopes.

Armstrong, who also pleaded guilty to driving an unregistered vehicle, fell into party drug use but was now back living with mum and purportedly drug free, the court was told.

Magistrate Brett Sonnet spared Armstrong a conviction but warned the drug dealer would be caged if he came back to court for similar offending.

“It’s a significant amount of methamphetamine …,” Mr Sonnet said.

“(The cash) found on your possession, in my view, clearly demonstrates the profitability of what you’re engaged in …

“As I said, if you come back before me you won’t be leaving by that door.”

Armstrong, of Brighton, was also fined $2200 and ordered to serve 200 hours of unpaid community work.
