A woman boasted of running her own drugs line, peddling cocaine and heroin to addicts in Banbury.

Jordanna Brock, 41, left a trail of text messages detailing the extent of her involvement in the illicit trade, Oxford Crown Court heard.

In one, she wrote: “To be honest, babe, I run my own shop [drug line] to make as much P [money].” She said: “Just doing my ting. My line is popping again.”

The Banbury dealer boasted to customers of the quality of her product, telling them she had ‘some banging fire’ and that she sourced her drugs from London and Birmingham.

When one client told her the cocaine wasn’t up to scratch, Brock replied saying she wanted to ‘wash’ the drug herself. However, there was no evidence she had washed – the process of turning powder cocaine into crack – the product.

The texts came to light after her phone was seized during a police raid on her home in Banbury on September 3 last year.

In her bedroom, officers found a small amount of MDMA and cocaine. Inside a make-up bag was stashed two sets of scales, cling film and a mobile phone.

Brock, of Windrush, Banbury, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to involvement in the supply of class A drugs. She had a number of previous convictions but nothing on her record for supplying drugs.

Lucy Ffrench, mitigating, asked Judge Ian Pringle QC to allow her client to be assessed for a rehabilitation programme.

“Ms Brock desperately needs rehabilitation and she also needs to be out of Banbury,” her advocate said.

Adjourning the case until August 16, Judge Pringle said: “There is only one other alternative disposal I can pass, which is an immediate prison sentence of some significance so I will give her this chance at least to be assessed.”

If she is deemed by addiction service Turning Point to be suitable for the programme, Brock will have to spend three months on remand and remain completely abstinent. Then, she will receive treatment at a residential facility.

The rehabilitation scheme was piloted between Oxford Crown Court and HMP Bullingdon. It is rare for female defendants to be considered for the programme, as they are typically held on remand at HMP Eastwood Park, near Bristol, which has different facilities.

During the hearing, Brock cried in the dock as she heard prosecutor Matthew Knight outline the facts of the case.
