Jamey-Leigh Brook-Parkinson, 27, sought to help her boyfriend "build our empire" while he was in jail by taking over his cocaine business - her mum, 47, then also got involved and started dealing cannabis for themA woman who relished her lavish lifestyle as she ran her boyfriend's cocaine business while he was in prison and whose mum started dealing for them has been jailed. Brook-Parkinson was jailed on Tuesday, but her mum walked away from court with a community order. An investigation was launched after one of his "lieutenants" was arrested for possession of class A drugs, the court heard. “On 9 June 2020, he instructs her on how to proceed with deals of cocaine, and spoke of the setting up of a new cocaine business,” Mr Blackshaw said. In mitigation for Brook-Parkinson, Richard Vardon told the court that she was acting at his ‘behest’ and under his "behalf".
