Plymouth woman admits selling heroin to under-cover cop
A WOMAN is to be sentenced for her part in selling heroin to an undercover police officer.
Lisa Copeland admitted at Plymouth Crown Court yesterday to two counts of being concerned in the supply of the Class A drug.
The 41-year-old pleaded guilty to being part of deals to supply the officer known only as Liam on February 7 and February 13.
Copeland, of Ernesettle Crescent, denied a third count of being concerned in the supply of the Class B drug NRG2 to the same officer on February 15. That plea was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Copeland will be sentenced together with Ryan Bailey.
Bailey, aged 29 and of Radford Avenue, in Prince Rock, had earlier admitted supplying heroin to 'Liam' on January 31.
He pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation intending to make a gain on February 13 and February 16.
Bailey admitted dishonestly supplying the same officer with a stone first while claiming it was crack cocaine. He also admitted the same offence relating to caffeine which he said was heroin three days later.
Judge Paul Darlow ordered probation reports on their backgrounds ready for their sentencing on November 9.
He added: "I am making no promises at all."

“YOU wouldn't think it but tobacco smoking is more than likely worse for your health than smoking heroin. Neither is better than the other for your health. I'm not saying either is good but tobbaco smoking could well be worse than heroin smoking. Tobacco is more carcinogenic and its legal. Tobbacco is likely more lethal believe it or not.”

“Entrapment comes to mind, what a waste of taxpayers money? Must have cost Thousands to stage it, and to bring it to Court. All they will get is some kind of Community Order. For NOT selling Drugs.”

“..Article quote- 'Bailey admitted supplying the officer with a stone while claiming it was crack cocaine'..
That must have been galling”

“BrixhamDes, Don't make ironic comedy comments on this site, most of the commentors on here have their heads so far up their a**es they have completely lost their sense of humour. We need Frankie Boyle to have a go, that'll wind them all up.
Long live Free Speech!!!”

“No wonder I cannot buy any "Crack" or "Smack" in Plymouth these days?
All the Undercover Officers are buying it up!”
