A Woorabinda woman appeared in Biloela Magistrates Court last week on a raft of charges after months of offending.
Megan Jean Freeman, 45, pleaded guilty to possessing utensils or pipes for use, committing public nuisance, possessing more than the prescribed quantity of liquor in a restricted area without a permit and two failures to appear in accordance with an undertaking.
Police prosecutor Megan Lane read the facts of Freeman’s case to the court and Magistrate Philippa Beckinsale.
On June 28 last year, Woorabinda police were conducting mobile patrols throughout the area when they came across Freeman “swaying” in the middle of the street.
A bag of 16.4 grams of cannabis was found in the living room, along with scissors which had cannabis remnants on them, and a bowl containing chopped cannabis.
A court heard Hodgson would not answer any questions from the police officers present and he was subsequently issued a notice to appear.
Ms Lane told the court Hodgson had a concerning criminal history related to the use and possession of dangerous drugs and Ms Beckinsale obliged.
“If you keep using this drug and are brought before the court, next time we are not talking fines. It is an illegal drug and you will be prosecuted for that,” Ms Beckinsale said.
