The court heard Madden Spooner was found in possession of 42.5 grams of methamphetamine, a handgun and a small quantity of cannabis at Park Ridge on December 8, 2020.

He was also charged with supplying meth to another person on October 18, October 23, December 6 and December 7 in 2020.

Madden Spooner’s defence lawyer said he began using ice/meth recreationally at age 20, and his drug addiction grew over the next five years to a point where he was smoking a gram a day.

“He’s a prime example of a young man who’s thrown away the best young years of his life on drug addiction,” he said.

After spending 451 days in custody, he said Spooner had been able to get clean and had also completed a substance intervention program.

He told the court Madden Spooner was now looking to get his life back on track once he’s released and resume life with his fiance.

The court heard he was three years imprisonment with immediate parole release.
