A total of 1.6kg of crack cocaine and heroin, worth £170,460, was seized by police during the investigation.
Iain Suggett, defending, said the 'hardworking' convict had a 'military background' and was handed a 'lump sum' when he took early retirement from the army.Mr Suggett added: "He fully accepts what he has done. He has allowed greed to get the better of him.
"He seems just to have parachuted into the middle of this for no reason. It is a devastating shame to him and society that he has fallen from the path of righteousness." Harris admitted two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and one count of possession of criminal property between September 2022 and February 2023.
The Judge stated that Harris had showed 'genuine remorse' and had a 'low risk of reoffending'. However, the judge did add that "Class A drugs have a significant impact on the community and ruin lives".DC Andy Turton, from the West Midlands county lines team said: "We are working harder than ever to crack down on County Lines, which bring misery to communities in the form of drug dealing, exploitation and violence".
