This is the face of violent drug dealer Lucky Pemberton who exploited two highly vulnerable women. The custody image was released by Nottinghamshire Police after Pemberton, of no fixed address, was jailed for six years and five months for possessing drugs with intent to supply at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (December 19)
Concurrent sentences were handed down to Pemberton for two offences of assault, causing bodily harm, after he left one of the victims he exploited with a graze to her head, and the second with swelling and bruising to her thigh after using a machete to injure her.
He took over one home to sell drugs and the second to store weapons, the court heard. What happened to them is more commonly known as 'Cuckooing' - a form of crime, termed by the police, in which the home of a vulnerable person is taken over by a criminal in order to use it to deal, store or take drugs.

Pemberton, 28, who pleaded guilty to the charges, had stored weapons at either or both locations, in Strelley, and had used a machete to injure one of the women, said Recorder Stuart Sprawson. He told Pemberton: "You used violence against those exploited by you."
