The Speed had a value of £90, while the Diazepam had a value of £2.
A defence solicitor said the 36-year-old did have a record, but there was an absence of drugs offences on the record.
The solicitor said Hazlett was going through a difficult period with an ex-partner and she would say she was “somewhat medicating around this time.”
The solicitor told the court it was a “foolish offence.”.
In sentencing, District Judge Liam McNally imposed fines of £250 and £100.
