Sarimah Icely was being monitored and recorded by police as she closed her deals at McDonald's in Wagga Road.

It was the same "witness" involved in each of the transactions that ultimately led to her arrest, along with her boyfriend, last year.

IN OTHER NEWS:

The 20-year-old pleaded guilty in Albury Local Court on Tuesday to supplying a prohibited drug on an ongoing basis, for which she was committed for sentence.

A further charge of possessing a prohibited drug will also travel to the District Court in Albury.

Director of Public Prosecutions representative Mary-Beth McFarlane withdrew three charges of supply a prohibited drug and one of participating in a criminal group.

Icely was handed a conviction without penalty after she pleaded guilty also to a charge of failing to appear on bail.

She had been re-arrested for not travelling from Melbourne - she cited car troubles and COVID-19 restrictions - for a previous court appearance on the supply charges.

That resulted in her briefly going into custody. While magistrate Richard Funston granted her bail again, he criticised her at the time for travelling to Melbourne at all when she faced such serious charges.

The court was told how a "witness" contacted Icely's boyfriend by Snapchat on June 18, 2020, about 4.30pm to arrange to buy prohibited drugs.

A few minutes later, the witness received a Snapchat friend request and message from Icely, with the user name of "Rimah", in which she asked: "You chasing?"

The witness arranged with Icely to buy 1.02 grams of MDMA, or ecstasy, for $160, which was exchanged that evening at McDonald's under police surveillance.

Other deals included 0.96 grams of cocaine for $350 and another 1.01 gram deal for the same price.

Icely will be arraigned before the District Court on September 24.
