Dingwall mum involved in cocaine supply avoids jail
A 33-year-old mother of three who was concerned in the supply of drugs was placed under social work supervision for the next three years.
Cara MacIver of Seaforth Gardens, Dingwall, appeared for sentence at Inverness Sheriff Court after previously admitting possessing cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cocaine at her home between December 11, 2021 and February 2, 2022.
MacIver was also ordered to participate in a programme to help her decision-making skills.
Defending, Mary-Ellen Scobbie told Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald: "She is very worried about going to jail. She is a mother-of-three and one has special needs."
Sheriff Macdonald told MacIver: "You could easily be sent to jail for the supply of Class A drugs but I will impose a community payback order as an alternative."
