A hair stylist who lived a secret double life as a debt collector for her drug trafficking boyfriend has been spared jail.
Olivia Monks, 23, fielded thousands of pounds in dirty money owing to 22-year-old Mitchum Fisher, after he gave her a list of 23 names to chase for payment.
But a judge decided not to send her prison as he said the mum-of-one had been "dragged into" the illicit racket due to the "damaging relationship" she had with Fisher.

The couple, who have a child together, were arrested after police stopped her Audi A1 car in Farnworth, near Bolton.
Officers discovered a stash of cocaine, cannabis, weighing scales plus a blood stained knife hidden in the glove compartment.
It emerged that Fisher - once tipped as a future Manchester United footballer - had previously been given an ASBO-type "Gangbo" court order over his links to organised crime.
He had also been issued with a police threat to life 'Osman warning' over underworld intelligence suggesting a contract had been put out on him by rival mobsters.
At Bolton Crown Court, Monks of Farnworth faced jail after she admitted acquiring criminal property and having a bladed article but was freed with a two year community order.
She and Fisher have now split up.
Fisher, of Salford, and one of his customers Dylan Gallagher, 22, of Farnworth were each given 12 months suspended for two years after they admitted possessing cocaine and having cannabis with intent to supply.
The bust occurred at 1.25pm on April 10, 2020 when police were looking for Fisher in connection with others matters.
David Lees prosecuting said: ''Ms Monks' Audi A1 was stopped by police with Ms Monks in the driver's
