CANNABIS was found in a woman's handbag after police smelt the drug when they stopped a car.
Passenger Laura Spencer handed over nine small bags of cannabis, worth a total of £95, to the officers, who stopped the blue Lexus in Merrill Way, Allenton, last June.
Police seized four mobile phones from her - three from her house - and, on two of them, was evidence of supplying drugs.
Police also recovered £425 from the 29-year-old's home.
Spencer, of Glengarry Way, Sinfin, admitted possessing cannabis with the intent to supply to others.
Spencer was handed a six-month jail sentence, suspended for a year, ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work and told to pay a £80 victim surcharge.
Judge Jonathan Gosling said this was the second time she had been in court for drugs. In November 2012, she was convicted of possessing cannabis. He added: "You have a good work record and, since September 2013, you have been working six days a week and you say you have started an accounting course."
