Mikayla Noakes charged in drug sting that netted NRL star Michael Gordon
An Instagram influencer with thousands of followers is accused of taking part in a major cross-border drug syndicate with a former Gold Coast Titans coach.
Mikayla Noakes, 20, fronted Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday where she pleaded not guilty to charges of participating in a criminal group and taking part in the supply of dangerous drugs.
She was one of seven people arrested in a police blitz on Saturday, following a lengthy investigation into the supply of MDMA and cocaine on the Far North New South Wales Coast and southeast Queensland.
