A woman who provided a written letter of support for the son of an NRL legend accused of major drug supply for the Comanchero bikie gang has become further embroiled in an alleged criminal group, a court has heard.

Simone Fisher, 28, has been slapped with additional charges following her arrest in connection to Grayson Goodwin, who is the son of Ted “Lord” Goodwin last month.

Fisher, who works for the AFL, was initially charged with possessing a small amount of prohibited drugs following a police search of her on the same day Goodwin was arrested for major drug supply offences.

She has since been charged with participating in a criminal group and contributing to its activity and knowingly deriving material benefit from a criminal group between August 28 and September 22.

Documents tendered to court said she allegedly received $2500 knowing it was derived from criminal activities.

Grayson Goodwin, the son of NRL legend Ted Goodwin, remains in custody over serious drug supply allegations.

Police allege Goodwin, the brother of former NRL star Bryson, allegedly made multiple dead drops of kilograms worth of illegal drugs interstate and Sydney for the Comanchero bikie gang.

Goodwin was accused of being a “professional drug courier” with “strong and certain links to the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Gang” and actively took part in the supply of cocaine, ketamine, MDMA and meth for a “significant profit”, police allege in a statement of facts tendered to the court.

Police searched his Cronulla home where they allegedly seized 154g of cocaine and $24,050 cash above his fridge, 1548g of meth and 106g of ephedrine in the garage.

During Goodwin’s bail application in November, the court heard Fisher had written a letter of support and was said to “know him better than other people”.

At the time, Goodwin’s lawyer told the court Fisher was “credible and trustworthy”.

In Sutherland Local Court on Thursday, Fisher pleaded guilty to the drug possession charge.

Agreed facts tendered to court said Raptor Squad investigators searched Fisher’s Caringbah home, where she lives with her mother and siblings, on November 10 as part of an investigation into the supply of prohibited drugs.

She told officers she had a “quarter of a bag” in her room which she offered to give to them.

They seized the bag of cocaine, which weighed 0.34g, from inside a vitamin bottle in her wardrobe.

Magistrate Holly Kemp accepted Fisher had no criminal history.

She encouraged Fisher to “remove any involvement with drugs from your life immediately” before she placed her on a nine-month conditional release order without conviction where she must be of good behaviour.

Fisher’s other charges were adjourned to February 20 at Downing Centre Local Court.

Goodwin – who remains in custody on remand – has yet to enter pleas for his charges of four counts of supplying a large commercial quantity of drugs; another four counts of supplying an indictable to commercial quantity of drugs and two counts knowingly dealing in the proceeds of crime.
