A WOMAN who was in bed with her boyfriend when police raided her home, was jailed yesterday.
Georgina Harrison, 25, had 113 Ecstasy tablets under her bed, said prosecutor Robert Terry.
On the bedside cabinet next to her and Stephen Scarre, 24, was a small piece of cannabis, and there were self-sealing bags on the chest of drawers and electronic scales, Teesside Crown Court heard.
Police also found a plastic bag with ten wraps of cannabis resin at the house in Lowe Street, Darlington.
When Scarre was taken to the bathroom to dress he was found to have an Ecstasy tablet in his pocket. The total value of the drugs was about £1,600.
Harrison said some of the cannabis and 13 Ecstasy tablets were hers, and the other 100 belonged to someone she met in a pub the night before.
Harrison was jailed for nine months after she admitted possessing Class A and B drugs with intent to supply.
Scarre, a £19,000-a-year engineer, was fined £100 with £100 costs after he admitted possessing Ecstasy.
Peter Makepeace, for Harrison, said that four years ago she was a supervisor with Orange Telecommunications, with a husband and children. But there was a break-up, and after she lost the children she started to take drugs.
