A WOMAN caught smuggling drugs into Erlestoke for her bullying, body builder, boyfriend has walked free from court.

Dani-Marie Llewellyn had 101 tablets of steroids hidden in her bra when she took her partner's three-year-old son to see him in prison.

But the 20-year-old was spotted handing the package to the inmate when she was in the visitors' area and when he was searched he was found to have the drugs.

When she was detained at the prison she told police 'I didn't want to do it', and after hearing she was naive a judge imposed a community order.

Colin Meeke, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court how the offence took place at the prison on April 23.

He said "Staff watched the exchange on CCTV live, looking at it again several times, then moved in and removed the prisoner and then removed her.

"The prisoner was trying to put the package down his trousers by the time they had him.

"He had a two inch long cling film package which contained herbal material, which was not a controlled drug, and 101 oxymetholone, a class C drug."

The police were called when the defendant said she had not wanted to do it, adding that it was 'not class A, it is some sort of steroids'.

"She described to the police how the prisoner put some sort of pressure on her to bring some things in," Mr Meeke said.

"He told her to go to a railway station where she would be met, receive a package and bring it in. She had hidden it in her bra.

"It seems she is fairly naive. She didn't want to do it, got cold feet, realised she was as locked in as the prisoner was in the social area so she handed it over as planned."

Llewellyn, of Owslebury, Winchester, pleaded guilty to conveying a list A article into a prison.

Paul Binder, defending, said her boyfriend was a bully and a bodybuilder and wanted the steroids while he was in prison serving a six-year term.

He said that he had told his client he would stop her seeing his three-year-old son, to whom she had become attached, if she didn't bring the package.

The court was told that since her arrest she had ended the relationship and is now working as a carer.

Passing sentence Recorder Malcolm Gibney said "Society simply can't have a situation where drugs are taken in to prison.

"I have no doubt you were under pressure from your boyfriend who is serving a lengthy sentence and is a bodybuilder. Drugs have a currency inside and can destabilise the prison."

He imposed a one-year community order with 150 hours of unpaid work.
