Jordana Monique Lucas, aged 21, of Lions Drive, Mudgee, was fined a total of $1980 and disqualified for a further 12 months.
At about 3.15pm on Saturday, June 15, 2019, police were monitoring a Mudgee location after they'd received information relating to the supply of illegal drugs, during which time Lucas was seen driving there.
When told that she would be drug tested she initially protested, but consented after she was informed that refusal was also an offence.
She tested positive to methamphetamine, which she admitted to using once or twice a week.
A check of her licence revealed that she was also disqualified for six months from February 20, 2019, for an earlier charge of 'Drive illicit drug present in blood'.
