An addict who was caught with £1,200 in Class A drugs after a police chase has been told it will take a "Herculean" effort to get the "poison" out of her body.Gemma Potts, aged 42, made the"unusual" request of asking to be sent to prison at a previous hearing after she was caught with heroin and crack cocaine following a pursuit on the A5 near Oswestry.
Police obtained intelligence about a Volkswagen Golf which was suspected as being a car involved in County Lines drug dealing. Officers parked at the Queen's Head pub, just off the A5, ready to intercept the vehicle. Eventually the Golf came to a stop and both Potts and the man were arrested. They were taken to Shrewsbury police station, Mobile phones were seized from both.Officers carried out strip searches, and Potts was found to be concealing 40 one-gram wraps of heroin worth a total of £400, and eight grammes of cocaine worth £870. She gave no comment when interviewed by police.
Grahame James, mitigating, said that at her plea and trial preparation hearing, Potts asked to be sent to prison because she could not trust herself to remain drug free."She has been led by her nose in a drug addiction," said Mr James.
