Jail miss for drugs sale

A MAN who sold $250 worth of cocaine to his friends and was found with 2g of the drug in clip seal bags, narrowly missed spending time in jail.

Marko Slomovic, 21, pleaded guilty in the Southport District Court yesterday to supplying a dangerous drug and possessing a dangerous drug. The court was told Slomovic was caught as part of a larger drug sting in mid-2017 arranging for the cocaine to be supplied for his friends.

Judge Julie Dick sentenced him to six months prison to be wholly suspended for 18 months.

Ms Dick said there was little commercial value in the supply as Slomovic had not profited from it.

She said she took into account his lack of criminal history and his age.
