The documents stated she was forcibly handcuffed before being searched.
The documents stated police then allegedly found the stash of drugs and money hidden in Ms Jillett’s bra.
She allegedly told police the suboxone was not hers, but for a “friend” who needed it and could not walk.
Police also allegedly found a bag of marijuana in a handbag inside the car, which Ms Jillett allegedly described as “bush weed” and said belonged to her.
It was alleged other small bags containing meth were also found inside the car, along with plastic straws, electronic scales and empty clip seal bags.

The alleged offences span between September 11, 2021 and November 3, 2023.
