Alleged ice dealer doesn't learn his lesson

BY SARAH BARONOWSKI AND JESSICA ROUSE

An accused ice dealer who was arrested twice in three days and granted bail on both occasions has again been arrested on drug charges in the Hunter.

46-year-old, Jason Young is in custody for the third time after police allegedly seized a stash of ice, cannabis and ecstasy at his Anna Bay home on Thursday.

Prohibited weapons, drug paraphernalia and a large sum of cash was also found.

The arrest comes just 15 days after he was first charged with supplying a prohibited drug and granted bail.

He was then arrested two days later when he was found with more ice and was again released on bail, leaving police seething.

But this time round, the man has been refused bail and is due to front Raymond Terrace Local Court today.
