One mother has been arrested after buying multiple bags of cocaine as a present to her daughter, who was about to turn 18.
Nicola Austen spent $461 on coke, and even managed to find time to divide the bags up into 12 different ‘wraps’ that were then scattered over her living room.
After a drugs raid, the packages were discovered by police, and despite Austen’s bold claim that she was only providing ‘for a party’, authorities took a dim view of the situation. Obviously.
Austen claimed:
It’s all been blown out of proportion. I’ve had enough. It isn’t exactly the scoop of the century, is it? It was a party!
She managed to avoid jail time by claiming that a prison sentence would affect her son in a negative way.
Because that’s exactly the type of role model he needs.
