Hayley Baker admitted possession of a controlled drug of class B, cannabis, with intent to supply when she appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Friday, while Benjamin Spares had pleaded guilty to the offence at an earlier hearing. Alison Scott-Jones, prosecuting, said a black Audi was stopped on Rainbow Hill, Worcester, at around noon on April 10, 2019. The driver was Hayley Baker and the passenger was Benjamin Spares, the prosecutor said. When the officers approached they noticed the strong smell of cannabis.
