A woman hugging people at a music festival in Brisbane led police to a former bikini model-turned drug dealer.
Brigitte Marie Charles, 25, pleaded guilty to supplying MDMA to a network of friends and others yesterday, the Courier Mail reports.
Police were led to the mother-of-one and former bikini model when they saw her friend Kelli-Ann McAvoy cuddling people at the Stereosonic event in December 2012.
Officers found text messages on McAvoy's phone from Charles which revealed her to be a drug dealer.
Charles' phone showed her texting a series of friends offering to sell them MDMA pills for $20-$25 each.
The Brisbane woman advised a first-time MDMA user to take two pills at a dance festival "cause it's gana be a long day".
Judge William Everson handed down a suspended one-year sentence to Charles yesterday after a late plea of guilty.
