Stuart MacGill Avoids Jail After Involvement in Cocaine Deal. Former Australian cricketer Stuart MacGill avoids jail time after being found guilty of involvement in a cocaine supply deal. MacGill was sentenced to a 22-month intensive corrections order and 495 hours of community service. The 54-year-old cricketer pleaded not guilty but admitted to using cocaine and introducing his brother-in-law to his drug dealer. MacGill was linked to a drug deal worth 330,000 AUD (£159,000) but maintained his role was limited to the introduction in April 2021. The investigation began after MacGill claimed he was abducted and beaten by a group of men in April 2021. The police later arrested suspects related to the abduction, where MacGill was threatened at gunpoint. MacGill, a former Test spinner for Australia, was charged with the supply of a large commercial quantity of drugs in 2023. MacGill’s sentence avoids prison time, with the cricketer ordered to serve community service for his role in the case. The case highlights MacGill's involvement in the illegal drug trade, though his role was argued to be minimal.
