A BARROW teenager has been locked up for two months after admitting supplying drugs to a mum-of-five who later died.
Josh Michael Webster, of Nelson Street, Barrow, was charged with supplying a quantity of a-PVP, a synthetic stimulant drug, to 36-year-old Lisa Arnold on July 21 of last year.
Miss Arnold, who lived in the Hindpool area of Barrow, was found unresponsive in a flat in Anson Street, Barrow and was later pronounced dead. Webster, 19, appeared at Preston Crown Court today where he pleaded guilty to supplying a Class B drug.
Webster was given a two-month detention order in a Youth Offenders' Institute and ordered to pay an £80 victim surcharge.
He was also sentenced for two other offences and was given a four-month consecutive sentence for breaching a restraining order and a two-month concurrent sentence for breaching a community order, bringing his total sentence to six months.
