A young Gympie woman is facing a possible hearing in the Supreme Court after a roadside police search of her vehicle uncovered an alleged involvement in multiple drug deals.

Courtney Shae McEwan, 20, is facing multiple charges of supplying dangerous drugs after police pulled over her car while it was travelling along Station Rd, between the Mary Valley Rattler and the city’s soccer fields, on May 20, 2024.

Further investigations then resulted in more allegations the 20-year-old was supplying dangerous drugs.
