Crack-addicted nurse and her boyfriend avoid custody for dealing drugs

Dayna Saddington and her partner Scott Bailey, both 32, were found with stashes of crack cocaine and MDMA at a property in Pontefract.

Leeds Crown Court heard police had attended a house for an unrelated matter on September 29, 2018 and thought the four people in the house were acting suspiciously.

Ian Howard, prosecuting, said that a quick search uncovered £225 worth of crack cocaine in the bathroom, separated into deals.

All four were arrested, including Bailey and Saddington, and a further search uncovered weighing scales and a mobile phone on the property's water tank.

In the cellar they also found 48 grammes of MDMA.

Having both admitted two counts of supplying Class A drugs, it was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service that they had only been selling to a close group of friends to help fund their own spiralling habit.
