Woman to be sentenced in higher court after dealing drugs while serving suspended sentence

A woman will be sentenced in the Court of General Gaol Delivery after admitting dealing drugs while serving a suspended sentence for importing cannabis.

Megan Louise Fielden of the Newtown Estate in Santon appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 25 year old admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply it on April 15 last year, and being concerned in supplying the class B drug on October 1, 2021.

The court heard police found almost 180 grams of cannabis worth just under £3,600 at her home, and discovered incriminating messages about drugs on her mobile phone.

Noting she was subject to a suspended prison sentence imposed by a Deemster last March, they said the higher court was the appropriate place for sentencing.

She was bailed in the sum of £500 to appear in court again on June 16.
