Cannabis worth thousands was found at the home of a woman who "began smoking weed with neighbours".
Cops attended Haileigh Dolan's Carntyne house shortly before 8am on April 8, 2022, with a search warrant.
They forced entry and saw the woman alone. Cops explained why they were there and searched the property.
One vacuum-sealed bag of material was found. This was later confirmed to be 590g of cannabis.
It was determined that its wholesale price would be £2,200.
The drug was not subdivided but it was concluded that if it were, it would be worth up to £5,800.
Police also found £560 cash in £20 notes and a mobile phone.
The device was analysed by cybercrime and a chat was found. In it, there was reference to storing drugs in the house for payment and that Dolan was willing to drive to collect and deliver drugs.
The 29-year-old was cautioned and charged, to which she replied: “I was in a bad place then”.
Dolan, now of Thornliebank, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court this week after she pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of the class-B drug.
Her lawyer stated: "She has a young daughter.
"She is moving between her parents’ and partner’s homes. She does not want to go back [to where the offence took place]. She is desperate to move out of the area.
"She recognises the seriousness of these issues. She is frightened about the prospect of a custodial sentence. She has no prior convictions.
"When she moved there, she began smoking weed with neighbours. It spiralled out of control.
"She has shown that she can be trusted."
Sheriff Bernard Ablett said: "It is often said in court that people involved in the supply of drugs can expect a prison sentence.
"However, you have no previous convictions. I consider this an extenuating circumstance.
"This allows me to deal with this matter by way of a community-based disposal. You have indicated that you are ashamed and embarrassed, I think you are quite right that you have received a wake-up call."
Dolan will have to complete 200 hours of unpaid work.
