Jack Hayward pleads guilty to large commercial drug trafficking after Para Hills raid

A social media drug dealer now faces a possibility of life in jail after pleading guilty to trafficking thousands of LSD tabs in a northern suburbs raid.

A young man has admitted to two more serious drug trafficking charges after a significant haul was uncovered by police in the northern suburbs.

Jack Toby Hayward, 20, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday to his remaining two charges – trafficking a large commercial quantity of LSD and commercial drug trafficking.

Hayward pleaded guilty in June to nine charges, including multiple counts of drug trafficking.

Tahlia Paige Videon, 20, was initially charged with Hayward after the Para Hills raid but had all charges withdrawn by prosecution in April.

The duo were arrested after police from the Northern District searched a home on July 27 last year.

They located three litres of GHB or liquid fantasy, more than 7500 LSD tabs – a hallucinogenic drug – more than 100 Xanax tablets, 500g of MDMA, 20g of cocaine, 1kg of cannabis, a pill press and nearly $9500.

Photos of the LSD tabs which were released by SAPOL have quirky characters on them, including a tripping Albert Einstein and Rick and Morty from the popular television series.

SAPOL’s Facebook post of the alleged drug bust garnered a lot of public attention, with one user jokingly commenting that the graphics on LSD tabs had come a long way.

“Without my glasses, initially I thought that SAPOL had confiscated diamond art,” another Facebook user said.

“I thought the cops seized their cross stitch collection, I’m getting old,” commented another.

The court previously heard three phones were seized after Hayward’s arrest.

“There are thousands and thousands of messages on the phones, over many social media platforms,” the prosecutor said.

Offences involving large commercial quantities of drugs attract a maximum fine of $1m and/or life imprisonment.

On Monday, Magistrate Simon Smart committed Hayward to the District Court for arraignment in October.
