A drug dealer sobbed in court after he was jailed for trafficking meth at his mum’s house.

Jordan Alexander, 21, was sentenced in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday to six months’ jail after pleading guilty to charges including trafficking meth, MDMA and cocaine.

Alexander’s many chances ran out after police raided he and his mum’s Bundoora home on February 16 this year.

Investigators seized meth, $27,150 in cash, shotgun ammo, Xanax and a “large amount” of deal bags.

Alexander’s mum informed police she had no knowledge of any of the items seized, the court was told.

Police searched Alexander’s bedroom where they seized the deal bags stuffed in an Ugg Boot.

Mum called her son, who was not home at the time of the raid, and told him to return to the house.

Alexander asked if he could have a shower before being arrested — which police allowed — but the drug dealer failed to show up.

Police fronted up at the Bundoora home the next day but Alexander was still on the run.

Alexander, who eventually handed himself in at a later date, told police he was in a large amount of debt due to a previous drug raid.

Alexander, an apprentice plumber, claimed he was told by a “person” to hold the bag of drugs, cash and ammo seized by police.

Alexander also claimed he “had no other option” because he was “so scared” of this mysterious person.

Alexander sobbed when jailed.

The prolific drug dealer was on bail at the time awaiting a deferred sentence for previous trafficking charges.

The court was told Alexander was earlier nabbed with a stack of drugs and cash at his mum’s Bundoora home on September 30, 2020.

Police seized MDMA, meth, cocaine, valium, Xanax, oxycodone and $27,525 cash.

Investigators also discovered several luxury brand goods including multiple watches and a shoe collection.

Police opposed an earlier bail application, citing it believed Alexander was a “significant” drug trafficker.

“(Alexander’s) lifestyle is not consistent with his lawful income,” the court was told at the time.

“Despite having a stable home life under the eye of his mother, and steady work with an income, it appears this isn’t enough to keep (Alexander) on track.

“Police believe (Alexander) will continue to traffick drugs to fund his luxurious lifestyle he has created for himself.”

Alexander, who poses up on social media with arm sleeve tatts, broke down sobbing after Magistrate John Hardy told him he’ll be spending the next four months behind bars.

“I’m not given any real explanation to what’s going on here,” Magistrate Hardy said.

“Other than you say you had debts and you were scared, if you have issues with people you have fallen in with … it would seem, according to instructions to your lawyer, people you were working for then you need to tell police … and you need to get protection from police …

“You’re well and truly on the radar now, you’re just going to get caught and get longer and longer periods in jail …

“If you want to keep being some kind of a gangster drug dealer, then keep doing it and people like me, despite your age, are going to lock you up for longer and longer periods of time.”

Alexander, who had spent 54 days on remand, was also handed an 18-month community correction order.
