A Mount Martha glamour girl nabbed dealing GHB and meth after turning to drugs to break her social media obsession has been jailed.
Madeline Scott, 23, was sentenced in the County Court on Friday to a minimum 18 months’ jail after pleading guilty to charges including trafficking a commercial quantity of drugs.
Scott’s downfall from financial planner to jail bird was cemented when she was busted doing a U-turn without indicating in Langwarrin about 4am on December 18 last year.
Police pulled Scott over then searched her car after an officer spotted an ice pipe popping out of her Pink handbag.
“Why would I let you search my vehicle?” Scott said.
“You are just picking on me because I am an ice addict.”
Scott then attempted to delete messages from her mobile phone but police intervened.
A search of the car uncovered 3kg of bute (GHB) in Gatorade bottles, meth, a large amount of cash, zip-lock bags, scales and a tick book.
Scott was hauled back to Frankston police station for questioning.
She admitted selling the drugs in person or via the internet.
Analysis of Scott’s phone revealed she had been dealing since at least November 6.
Scott told police she sold drugs to fund her own addiction.
“If I don’t sell it then I don’t have enough money to smoke it,” Scott told police.
“There are often times when I’ve got a whole more ice than everybody else does so, like, if there was people around me and they wanted it and they wanted to buy it off me then I would.
“I don’t make a profit at all from it … it’s just literally to fund my own ice
use … I mostly sell GHB more than ice.
“I can profit in the end, I don’t really think I make that much of a profit, to be
honest with you.
“I drops [sic] bottles of GHB around to people’s houses … often just local but … if it was going to be a big sale then I’d go further I guess.”
Scott admitted to police she had just purchased 3 litres of GHB for $2000 prior to being pulled over.
“I don’t want to drive around with that on me ‘cause then it’s not good to get
pulled over with it,” Scott said.
“The only reason I had that much GHB on me is … because it’s so far away to go and get it so I was like … oh, well, I might as well just get it now and then I don’t have to keep going back and forth to the city.”
Scott told police she sold GHB for $50 a hit and the “majority” of the cash she was caught with was from “selling drugs”.
Police also quizzed her on her tick notes.
“It means that — you know what tick means, that they’ve taken stuff in advance already,” Scott said.
“That you’ve sold them drugs in advance without money and they owe you that money back … some of it would have been GHB and some of it would have [been] gear, like ice.”
The court was told during an earlier hearing that Scott turned to drugs after she went “cold turkey” from obsessively posting photos of herself on Instagram.
The Peninsula glamour girl had posted more than 20,000 photos on social media, the court heard.
Scott — a “paraplanner” at her family’s business Precise Advice Financial Services –— had lived with her parents at the time of her offending but is now housed at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre.
Judge Michael Cahill said Scott’s offending was at the “low end”.
Scott – who had spent 317 days in custody – was jailed for a maximum three years.
