Nicolette Coutts said nothing when she was caught selling a "filthy" drug.
As he sentenced her to three years and nine months in jail, Judge Duncan Harvey noted that gangs used people like Coutts to sell meth, knowing full well they would not say anything that would lead to the arrest of others higher up the chain.
Coutts, 43, was yesterday sentenced in the Whangarei District Court after she pleaded guilty in September to 74 charges.
Coutts had admitted 28 charges of supplying meth, 19 of possession of meth for supply, 13 of possession of cannabis for sale, eight of offering to supply cannabis, four of selling cannabis, and two of offering to sell cannabis.
Judge Harvey said anyone caught selling "filthy"drugs such as meth on behalf of gangs would not be treated as a low level offender.
