DRUGS thrown on the floor by a disabled Clitheroe woman when her car was stopped by police were later found to be heroin and crack cocaine, a court was told.
Turner, 37, of The Crescent, pleaded guilty to possession of both drugs before Blackburn magistrates. She was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £65 costs.
Michael Blacklidge, defending, said Turner suffers from emphysema and receives disability living allowance. He said the quantities found were very small and were for her own personal use.
