A young beauty therapist who took up dealing drugs because she was unable to find any work was unaware the woman she was selling cocaine to was one of her dream industry’s biggest names, Kristin Fisher.
Brooke Moody, 19, had completed a beauty course but been luckless in her job hunt because of Covid-19 when an opportunity arose to make money by supplying drugs as part of a dial-a-dealer cocaine ring.
The teenager had already made $650 when Double Bay eyebrow queen Fisher got into the back of her Kia Rio to collect one gram of cocaine about 7.45pm on Saturday, July 17.
But errant driving by Moody caught the eye of police on Curlewis Street in Bondi Beach and soon both she and Fisher were under arrest, with the younger woman charged with drug supply and the beauty industry leader charged with one count of drug possession.
Fisher was last week convicted of drug possession in Waverley Local Court, but claims she did not know the case was being heard and has vowed to fight the conviction.
Moody faced the same court on Tuesday via a phone hook-up from the Merrylands home where she lives.
Court documents revealed that after being pulled over by police, officers asked Moody if she could tell them the name of her passenger and about how she knew her.
Her inability to name Fisher, combined with the fact the beauty queen had attempted to “evade” police after they spotted several small resealable bags containing a white substance at her feet – led officers to believe they had “disturbed a drug transaction”, court papers stated.
Moody pleaded guilty to one count of supplying a prohibited drug and one count of dealing with proceeds of crime.
In sentencing, Magistrate Julie Huber said that Moody’s ability to so easily join a dial-a-dealer drug ring to make what the court heard was “quick money” left her concerned.
“It is of some concern that you were able to become involved in such a formal and organised manner of dealing. being the dial-a-dealer (syndicate), that of course means you must have had some connections with people that one can only regard as being unsavoury,” Magistrate Huber said.
“I note with concern that you decided to get involved simply for a ‘quick dollar’. I note you have travelled some distance … you live in Merrylands and this offence takes place in Bondi.
“All I can say, is I imagine … your family are very disappointed and surprised with regard to your previous good character.”
Moody was convicted and placed on a community corrections order (CCO) with supervision for 30 months, as well as being fined a total of $3,000.
She was also issued a penalty infringement notice (PIN) by police at the time of her arrest for breaching the COVID-19 public health orders, having been so far away from Merrylands without a reasonable excuse.
Fisher – who is also known by her married name Barnes – was last week convicted and fined $550.
Her solicitor Michael Bowe said he had launched an appeal against his client’s conviction by the court.
