The court heard at 11.40am on Tuesday, March 31 police raided the house Watson and Webb were living in looking for another person.
Police searched the house and Webb told them there was a small amount of meth, less than a gram, hidden in her room.
They found cannabis, knuckle dusters, scales and a bong that belonged to Watson as well as used syringes hidden in a drawer.
Webb’s lawyer Dean Mayr said his client was a talented artist and had been turning her attention away from drugs and towards art.
“That is a better way to direct her energy than smoking ice is,” Mr Mayr said.
Webb has a child who does not live with her.
Webb was fined $500 and Watson was fined $750 and no conviction was recorded.
