Denmark woman breaches court order convicted of more drug offences

A 49-year-old Denmark woman who avoided prison for hiding cannabis in stubby holders and posting it to a friend in the Pilbara has been convicted of more drug offences. Tracey Maree Rawnsley was placed on a 10-month intensive supervision order in October last year, convicted of possessing methamphetamine, MDMA, cannabis and magic mushrooms. She was also placed on the court order for posting a package with 14.85g of concealed cannabis to a friend in Onslow. In May, Rawnsley breached that order when she was caught again for being in possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. She was charged with three counts of possessing methamphetamine, one count of possessing dexamphetamine, driving with a prescribed illicit drug in her oral fluid, and two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia. Earlier this month in Albany Magistrates Court, Magistrate Dianne Scaddan found her guilty of breaching the order and fined her more than $2200. Rawnsley was also disqualified from driving for six months. Police prosecutor Sergeant Alan Dean said the offences happened in Denmark on several dates in May and June this year. Ms Scaddan told the court Rawnsley was placed on the intensive supervision order in the first place “to address the very problems that were before the court today”. “Its had limited success ... she has an entrenched drug problem with a long way to go,” she said. Rawnsley was previously convicted of supplying meth in September 2017.
