A TEENAGE drug dealer is facing jail after selling ecstasy to a 14-year-old who later died after taking it.
Thomas Lamont, 18, met with and sold six tablets to Zoe Bremner, on June 10 last year.
But shortly after Zoe took two tablets, she couldn’t walk and appeared to take a fit.

An ambulance was called to the flat at Dundasvale Court but, minutes after they arrived, the schoolgirl was pronounced dead.
A post mortem revealed the cause of death was ecstasy.
Lamont, from Knightswood, Glasgow, pleaded guilty on Monday at the city’s Sheriff Court to being concerned in supply of the Class A drug to Zoe on June 10, 2017 on a street in Drumchapel.

Another 18-year-old, Stephen Selkirk, from Yoker, also pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of ecstasy to four 15-year-olds between April 14 and May 15 last year in the Yoker and Drumchapel areas.
Zoe and two friends were at a house party in Knightswood on the day of the incident.
Sheriff Johanna Johnston QC deferred sentence until next month for reports and continued bail but warned both men that all sentencing options are open.

She said: “Each of you has accepted your guilt of a very serious offence.
“This court has repeatedly said that people who deal in drugs, in particular Class A drugs will face severe punishment.
“This case is all to clear an example of just how risky it is for young people to be taking active substances.
“Zoe Bremner, you heard died very quickly from ingesting MDMA - that risk is always there, that’s why the court deals seriously with these cases.”
