 Pusey was caught with crack cocaine and heroin in Aberdeen |
A woman caught with drugs worth �75,000 who claimed she was visiting Aberdeen to do hairdressing has been jailed for two years. Timeko Pusey, 26, was stopped by drugs squad officers after she got off the London sleeper train at the city's railway station.
The Jamaican mother-of-two was found to have crack cocaine and heroin.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, Pusey had earlier admitted being concerned in the supply of drugs.
Advocate depute Alan Mackay said Grampian Police drugs squad detained Pusey after receiving information.
'No payment'
The advocate depute said: "She was interviewed under caution. She said she was in Aberdeen to do hairdressing for friends."
She said that apart from getting a train ticket for the journey north she was not receiving payment.
Defence counsel Susan Burns said Pusey, from Wembley, in London, had previously travelled to Aberdeen to do freelance hairdressing.
She added that Pusey had agreed to carry the package because a friend had asked her to do it.
Ms Burns said Pusey realised a prison sentence was be passed, but was anxious over the impact it would have on her children and other family members.
Judge Lady Dorian told Pusey that a prison term was the only sentence that could be passed, but she would take into account the previous good character of the first offender.
