A WOMAN was warned that she faced an early death if she failed to beat her drug problem when she appeared before the Royal Court.

Nikita Brehaut, 21, was jailed for six months after she admitted doing only four of the 120 hours’ community service to which she was sentenced last July for assault.

Crown Advocate Gary Perry told the court that Brehaut had committed four other offences since the order was imposed. Brehaut pleaded guilty to all offences.

Sentencing, Judge Russell Finch said Brehaut’s problem throughout had been with drug abuse.
