Two men who trafficked ecstasy tablets smuggled into Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry have been given jail terms.37 year old Todd Arthur Smith was sentenced to two-and-a-half years, and 40 year old Anthony Wayne Coleman 9 months.
23 year old Matthew Christopher Pepper was given a three-month suspended sentence for his lesser role.The court heard Smith had received nearly 4,000 ecstasy tablets in the deal, with a street value of nearly $200,000.He gave Coleman one thousand tablets to distribute, and Pepper was enlisted to be a middle man.
In the Hobart Criminal Court, Justice Peter Evans said their willingness to distribute the drugs was startling and deplorable.
