Bodybuilder Kimberley Devine pleads guilty to supplying cocaine in Double Bay

A bikini-wearing bodybuilder was caught with 16 bags of cocaine and $6,000 in cash after being pulled by police, after turning to selling drugs to support her own habit.

Kimberley Sarah Devine, 28, a champion bodybuilder who has trained with The Commando, was stopped by police in Double Bay in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on February 21.

She was found with a stash of cocaine and cash, after police saw a man hop into her car and be dropped off a short time later, Waverley Local court heard.

The glamorous fitness fanatic plead guilty to two counts of supply a prohibited drug and one count of deal with proceeds of crime on Wednesday.

Police grew suspicious and confronted the man, 26, who jumped out of Devine’s car and found two bags of cocaine on his person.

Investigators then tailed Ms Devine’s car, pulled her over and searched her vehicle, where they found the drugs, cash and a phone in a concealed compartment.

The drugs weighed 12.2g.

The court heard Devine was selling the illegal substance to support her drug habit after her ex-partner got her hooked on cocaine, Daily Telegraph reported.

Devine plead guilty to all three counts as magistrate Ross Hudson accepted that she was selling drugs to support her own habit.

‘In the eastern suburbs and in many other places in this state the supply of drugs is an absolute blight on our communities,’ he said.

‘What is does is fund an illegal market and adds to people’s complications to their mental health. It has no benefits. It is abhorrent.’

Devine was issued 150 hours of community service work, slapped with a $1,000, as well as a community correction order for two years with supervision.

She was also ordered to continue counselling and stop using drugs for 12 months.

The bodybuilding pro, from the city’s south, describes herself on social media as a ‘tested athlete’ and ‘natural bodybuilder’ who ‘works my ass off’ to get ahead.

Four days before she was charged, Devine posted to Instagram to note a big world championship competition was coming up.

‘The last two months have been nothing short of chaos,’ she wrote.

‘I’ve worked 3 jobs, 19 hour days and sleep has been non-existent … it’s time to focus on remembering basically who the (f***) I am!’

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine.

Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
