Sheriff Sara Matheson.
A SHERIFF sent a stern message to drug dealers in the Highlands by sending a 21-year-old to prison for a year.
Sheriff Sara Matheson told Kevin Woodward today: âThe Scottish courts have repeatedly emphasised that being concerned in the supply of drugs will be treated seriously.â
Despite hearing from solicitor advocate Mike Chapman that his client was making âgood progressâ on a current community payback order and there had been no further offending, the sheriff told Woodward: âThere is no alternative to custody.â
