BRENTWOOD DRUG DEALER RASHID CHIN-KING ABUSED PET PUPPY
A drug dealer jailed for running a Brentwood crack cocaine and heroin line was in court just weeks earlier for violently abusing his pet puppy.The Echo was in court this week as east London crook Rashid Chin-King was jailed for the supply of Class A drugs in south Essex.
Essex Police raided him in December – but we can now reveal that in November, he was in the dock at Snaresbrook Crown Court for having abused his dog.
Chin-King, of Heaton Close, Chingford, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and was banned from owning a dog for eight years.
The RSPCA thanked the member of the public who came forward with the footage, saying: “This was a shocking incident involving a very young puppy who had no way to escape.” He was also fined £500 and given a 12-month community order – which he was in breach of weeks later when police raided him and found him running a Class A drugs line.
