A woman stashed class A drugs in her vagina while 'under duress' from her abusive boyfriend, a court has heard. Expectant 30-year-old Brooke Morgan walked free from court after insisting she accompanied her partner Ryan Leonard's drug dealing exploits after suffering domestic violence.
Police arrested Morgan as she was found in the driver's seat of a Fiat 500 while Leonard was seen 'acting suspiciously around a group of drug users'.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday (October 7) that police also found illicit substances at her flat. But Morgan was described as having carried out a 'limited function under duress', the Liverpool Echo reports.
