Prison Guards Let Man Grow Marijuana In His Cell
Dopey prison guards unwittingly allowed a convicted drug dealer to grow cannabis in his cell – and even decorate one 4ft plant as a CHRISTMAS TREE. Gold-toothed Mohamed Jalloh, 28, convinced jail staff that his super-powerful skunk crop was really tomato plants. He grew it for at least five months while unsuspecting officers and bosses admired his green fingers. And he got so cocky he put festive decorations on one to brighten up his cell at Verne Prison in Portland, Dorset. Eventually he was grassed up by a jealous inmate – and guards then identified the plants using Google snaps. A source said: “You could see the plants from the grounds as his cell looks on to the education department and communal outside area. They were on show for the world to see.”
Jalloh, of Brent, North London, is serving eight years for supplying Class A drugs. An inquiry is underway at the Category C prison.

Burglar Leaves Phone At Crime Scene
A burglar was caught after leaving his phone at a crime scene and ringing it while looking for its return. Garda John Ryan picked up the call on Paul Cullen’s phone, pretending to be the house owner, and arranged to meet the 30-year-old drug addict to give it back. Cullen, of Clonmacnoise Road, Crumlin, apologised on the phone to Gda Ryan, believing him to be house owner Mark O’Connor. He told him the burglary and subsequent assault wasn’t his idea. Yesterday Cullen was sentenced to nine years, with 18 months suspended, for this offence, an assault and three robberies at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Cullen had also robbed €100 from a pharmacy after rummaging through a till but was chased out of the shop by a staff member who had armed herself with a stool to protect her from a knife the raider was carrying. He also robbed a taxi driver of his €50 cash float after holding the man at knife-point.
Cullen has 42 previous convictions, including robbery and criminal damage.

Prostitutes Offer Free Sex
A group of Danish prostitutes said they are offering free sex to delegates at a United Nations conference to protest officials discouraging potential patrons. The prostitutes said they are offering free sex to delegates at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to protest city officials asking 160 hotels not to arrange prostitutes for guests during the meeting, The Copenhagen Post reported Friday. Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard also wrote to each of the 500 delegates visiting the city for the conference and asked them to abstain from permitting the services of prostitutes.
“It’s completely discriminatory. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position when she uses her power to prevent us from carrying out our legal work,” said Susanne Molle, a spokeswoman for sex workers interest group SIO.
