Tammie Parnaby, 34, was arrested at her Springdale Heights home in February after selling drugs for several months.
Three people were involved in the group including ringleader Benjamin Heather, who could remain in jail until August 2021.
Parnaby was also an active player, but didn’t sell as much ice.
While Heather often made deals weighing up to 110 grams –selling nearly $70,000 of the drug – Parnaby’s sales were generally worth only a few hundred dollars each.
The Glenelg Drive resident sold 3.5 grams of ice to a man for $850 on November 16 last year, and 1.6 grams for $400 five days later.
The deals were made inside her home.
She met a buyer at the Lavington McDonald’s on November 22 and sold him 3.5 grams of ice for $950, and made another deal of 1.75 grams for $450.
She helped Heather supply 7.6 grams of ice for $2400 on December 14 and was given the same amount to resell a week before her arrest.
Parnaby had been given a chance to attend a rehab centre in Wagga in April.
But she failed to attend her next court date and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Judge Clive Jeffreys this week sentenced her in the District Court on drug supply charges.
He handed down a prison term of seven months and 15 days, backdated to April, which allowed her to be released from Cessnock jail.
Parnaby must spend nearly eight months on parole and undergo supervision by community corrections.
