A woman accused of selling drugs to teenagers at a residential school near Cumnock has been cleared of the allegations. 

Elizabeth Scott McMichael had denied allegations of supplying Class B and C drugs to teenagers and being in possession of cocaine at the Cronberry House residential care unit. 

The 51-year-old was alleged to have supplied cannabis to one young person, now aged 20, at the Muirkirk Road facility, run by Inspire Scotland, on various occasions between November 11, 2020 and January 17, 2021. 

She was also accused of supplying cocaine to another young person, now aged 16, on a single occasion between August 21 and December 24, 2021 at a car park on Woodland Road. 

A third charge of possessing cocaine at the childcare unit, on September 3, 2022 was dropped by prosecutors ahead of Ms McMichael's trial at Ayr Sheriff Court last week. 

Ms McMichael, of Back Rogerton Crescent, Auchinleck, pleaded not guilty to the two remaining charges against her.

After hearing all the evidence, the jury returned majority not proven verdicts on both the allegations and Ms McMichael left court without a stain on her character.
