Guilty pleas to drug charges

A Taupo woman has pleaded guilty to a raft of drugs charges, including the manufacture and supply of methamphetamine (P).

Monique Jane Eggleton, 24, had originally faced more than 85 charges, including 79 charges of offering to supply methamphetamine.

In Rotorua District Court yesterday Crown prosecutor Amanda Gordon presented an amended indictment containing 12 charges, eight of which were representative, meaning the offending happened more than once.

Eggleton pleaded guilty to all 12 charges. All the offences were committed at Taupo between September 1 and October 27 last year.

Eggleton was remanded in custody for sentencing on February 22.
