He was a private schoolboy hoping to play for a Premier League football team... then he became a £120million drug lord
A man who went to one of England's best schools and had trials for Aston Villa morphed into a 'drug lord' at the head of a £120million international smuggling operation.
Arnold, described as 'polite and personable' growing up by those who knew him, seemingly had the world at his feet and was on track to have a successful career and life. His mother Sue Arnold served as the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire from 2012 to 2021. While admitting he has done wrong and deserves to be punished, Mrs Arnold has disputed detectives' characterisation of her son as a 'drug lord'. She has also criticised the police's handling of the case and suggested her previous role in the Police and Crime Commissioner's team may have influenced how they approached their investigation.
“He played county cricket, had trials for Aston Villa and played rugby for his local town. Whilst he was privileged, he always had a predisposition to helping those less fortunate. "In order to reduce costs, he was conducting the work of two men. He would be up at 2am travelling around the UK fitting signs."
“He had a perverse loyalty to those that needed money and was making some bad decisions in terms of loaning vans to them and paying them when it had been less than successful on the removal job. Customers’ furniture was being stolen from his unit and vans trashed, basically jeopardising the business going forward through numerous complaints from clients.
