Sarah Hewitt, 43, was sentenced at Taunton Crown Court after pleading guilty to drug offences. Hewitt from Mansfield Road, Taunton was jailed for more than three years. She admitted to being involved in the supply of class A drugs.

Hewitt was arrested in April this year. During a search of her address, officers seized drugs paraphernalia, a quantity of cash as well as heroin. Police enquiries included analysis of Hewitt’s phone records. These showed she was actively concerned with supplying drugs in Taunton for some time.

In total she has been jailed for three years and two months. She pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin. She also pleaded guilty to possession of a class A drug and a class B drug.

Hewitt was also made subject to a seven-year criminal behaviour order. This prevents her from owning or possessing a mobile phone or SIM card not registered in her name. Proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act are continuing to recover money Hewitt made through her criminality.
