Cocaine low level dealer is jailed

POLICE had been listening to rumors for months about an eastern outer edge cocaine dealer known as ''the Man''. At once, an informant even provided a name - Richard William Buttrose, or ''Dicky'' to his mates.

When Rose Bay detectives begin the investigation in August 2008 to trap Buttrose, they trusted him responsible for low-level street contracting. But what they find out was described by a District Court judge yesterday as a "large-scale sell cocaine operation" with the "potential to corrupt & destroy members of the community."

Judge Robert Sorby judgmental Buttrose, 37, to a minimum of 12 years & 6 month’s jail after police find out 6 kilograms of cocaine & about $1.3 million hided into his eastern suburbs homes.
