An alleged ritalin dealer was remanded to a status hearing next month, and granted bail and interim name suppression when she appeared before Judge Emma Smith in the Dunedin District Court today.
The woman (51, unemployed) faces an indictably-laid charge of supplying the Class B controlled drug ritalin to various persons, and five other charges (four of procuring ritalin, and one of selling the Class C controlled drug diazepam).
All offending is alleged at Dunedin at various periods between January 1 last year and June 10 this year.
Represented by counsel Anne Stevens, the woman pleaded not guilty to the procuring and selling charges and was remanded to a status hearing on July 28.
On the indictably-laid charge, she was remanded to the same date for the purposes of discovery.
