Grandmother faces jail term on drugs charge
A grandmother has been sentenced to four months in jail after being convicted of possessing drugs for sale or supply — her car and handbag were searched when a garda in the public office of the local garda station smelt cannabis.
Julie Burke, aged 43, of 11 Dromleigh in Bantry, Co Cork, had pleaded guilty at Bantry District Court in March to possession of cannabis but had denied a charge of possession with intent to sell or supply the drug.
