Middlesbrough Academy player Lewis Walker was accused of possession with intent to supply Class C drugs after a police raid uncovered £25,000 worth of cannabis in his bedroom cupboard.
A jury at Teesside Crown Court last month found the 17-year-old not guilty of the charge following a four-day trial.
But his mum Tracy Walker, who admitted looking after the cannabis haul for someone else, was today jailed for possessing the cannabis with intent to supply and a charge of possessing cocaine with intent to supply.
The 37-year-old had denied the cocaine charge but was found guilty by a
jury.The charges arose from a police raid at the family home in Kirkstone Road, Berwick Hills, Middlesbrough.
