The court heard Hazlett was found in possession of drugs - 9 grams of a Class B drug, Amphetamines (Speed) and in possession of a Class C drug, two Diazepam tablets.

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.
