$1500 for jail dope delivery

A woman has been fined $1500 for providing drugs to a Roebourne prisoner this month. Timara Bradshaw appeared before the Karratha Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday last week and pleaded guilty to providing cannabis to an inmate at Roebourne Regional Prison. Bradshaw handed the prisoner two small cannabis balls on September 12. Police said Bradshaw said she was glad to have been caught and had felt pressured by the prisoner to deliver the drugs. Bradshaw's lawyer, Anne-Marie O’Neil, said the prisoner was in custody over offences alleged to have been committed against Bradshaw. Magistrate Michelle Ridley said she accepted Ms Bradshaw delivered the drugs because of pressure from the inmate. “You have entered an early plea. You are 20 years old, so you have youth on your side,” she said. “It is aggravated by him being in prison.” Bradshaw was fined $1500 with costs of $118.50.
