IN OTHER NEWS:
Doubleday, who will turn 48 on Saturday, has since moved to a flat in central Albury.
She pleaded guilty in Albury Local Court this week to charges of cultivate a prohibited drug, possess a prohibited drug, possession of equipment for administering a prohibited drug and possess or attempt to possess a proscribed restricted substance.
Magistrate Richard Funston was told how Doubleday's boyfriend was subject to a firearms prohibition order, which resulted in them visiting the couple's home about 9.40am to search for any such weapons.
Doubleday answered the door and the officers told her what the search was about.
Police found cannabis leaf in several locations in the main bedroom, along with a glass pipe for smoking methamphetamine and three vials of a substance believed to be steroids.
The cannabis leaf, including stems, weighed 3.81 kilograms.
Two cannabis plants of 1.4 metres and 1.5 metres were found in a garden shed in the backyard.
Doubleday, police said, immediately made full admissions over the drugs.
"The accused stated that she grew the cannabis for her personal use and that the smoking pipe was to smoke the prohibited drug methamphetamine."
Doubleday was placed on a nine-month community corrections order.
