A student from a poor background smuggled drugs into a music festival to make money so she could 'keep up' with her middle-class friends, a court heard.
Jasmine Mattis, now 20, had struggled to ape her wealthy classmates' lavish lifestyles when she moved to a prestigious secondary school.
In August 2023 aged only 18 and having just completed her A Levels, Mattis was caught trying to enter the Creamfields dance festival in Runcorn, Cheshire with a stash of Ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, ketamine and cannabis wrapped up in her coat and a large bag.
When confronted at the festival, one of the biggest in Europe and which attracts annual crowds of up to 70,000, she initially claimed the drugs were not hers.
She then talked about 'needing the money', asking to go to the toilet and attempted to run away - before being arrested.
