A woman was arrested after being found in possession of more than 40 wraps of class A and B drugs.
Stacie Sullivan, 34, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 30 months in prison on Tuesday (14 June) at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after admitting possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs.
The court heard how officers stopped a black Seat Leon on Lovatt Street in Stoke-on-Trent on October 13, 2021.
Sullivan, the rear-seat passenger, was found with heroin, monkey dust, and £285 in cash.
She was arrested and later released on police bail.
On November 10, police received reports of a drug operation at an address on Ripon Road in Stoke-on-Trent.
Officers arrived and discovered a Kinder egg case containing 46 deals of monkey dust and ten deals of heroin – worth around £1,000 – as well as a paper tick-list.
Sullivan, who was present at the address, was discovered in possession of 31 wraps of monkey dust and 17 deals of heroin worth approximately £800.
“Sullivan did not learn from her previous encounter with police and was intent on continuing her criminality,” said Sergeant Marc Proctor, the officer in charge of the case.
I am pleased with the sentence and hope that it serves as a reminder of the various ways in which officers are proactively pursuing the supply of illegal drugs within our communities.
