Summary

A plasterer turned drug dealer, Daniel Frape, 32, got caught parked near a school in Wigston with an uninsured car packed with weed, cocaine, a baseball bat, and an extendable baton. Police found it even worse at his home: a modified gun capable of firing live rounds, more drugs, and over $5,000 in cash. Frape, now addicted and allegedly forced into dealing after a brutal attack left him with skull fractures, claimed he was trapped and scared. His lawyer portrayed him as desperate, but the judge emphasized the extreme danger of his actions—especially with kids nearby—and handed him a six-year sentence, urging him to rebuild his life.
