Debbie Baker, aged 59, faced one count of possession with intent to supply cocaine on September 1, in Willenhall.

However, at a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday, Judge Michael Chambers KC said her basis of plea was "not accepted" by the Crown Prosecution Service.

He adjourned the matter until January for a Newton hearing. The case relates to the seizure of cocaine and mobile phones from a taxi.

Baker, of Swan Close, in Longdon, near Rugeley, Staffordshire, was remanded in custody until then.
