A WOMAN who fixed a drug dealer up with new customers in return for cocaine has been warned she’s now in the last chance saloon.
Molly Meyler-Williams, 21, Trehelig in Llansawel, avoided a prison sentence as she appeared at Swansea Crown Court on May 24.
Meyler-Williams was charged with being concerned in supplying cocaine and being concerned in supplying diamorphine in Aberystwyth between February 22 and March 13 last year.
She pleaded guilty to both offences.
The court heard that Meyler-Williams’ role was to find new customers for a drug dealer in return for cocaine.
“You willingly sold your friends to him for amounts of cocaine to feed your own habit,” the judge, Recorder Greg Bull KC, said.

Ian Ibrahim, defending, said Meyler-Williams was “completely remorseful for her actions”.
He said the defendant had recently left an abusive relationship, and that, growing up, “both of her parents were heroin addicts”.
“She started using alcohol from the age of 13,” he said.
“She’s stayed clear of that now for 12 months.”
He added that Meyler-Williams had been involved with the Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Service (DDAS) since she was 18.
Mr Ibrahim said there had been a significant delay in the case coming before the court, and that Meyler-Williams had committed no further drug offences since.
“What worries me is that she’s been given many, many opportunities at drug rehabilitation and nothing seems to have worked,” said Recorder Bull. “She’s never had the will to free herself of Class A drugs.”
“For the first time in a long time, she’s pulled herself away from abusive influences in her life,” Mr Ibrahim said. “She starting to make roads on a different path.”
Addressing Meyler-Williams, Recorder Bull said: “Until you are in the correct frame of mind to help yourself, no resources of the state will help you. I am prepared to give you some hope, but it’s in your hands now.”
He sentenced her to 23 months, suspended for two years, running concurrently for each offence. As part of this, Meyler-Williams must complete 200 hours of unpaid work, 30 rehabilitation activity requirement days, and a drug rehabilitation requirement.
“It’s important that you stay clear of drugs, especially of Class A drugs,” said Recorder Bull.
“You’re at the last chance saloon. You are at the edge of a cliff and you will fall head first down it unless you are very, very careful.”
