A warrant has been granted for the arrest of two alleged Paisley drug dealers. 

Bobbi McLaughlin and Khern Hill were due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Friday, but both failed to attend the hearing.

McLaughlin’s defence agent told the town’s court she had no explanation for her 23-year-old client’s non-attendance. 

Hill’s defence agent explained he was aware his 34-year-old client was in hospital earlier in the week but couldn’t say for certain that’s where he was and why he was unable to attend court.

Sheriff Janis Scott granted warrants for the arrest of both. 

Prosecutors allege between September 1, 2024 and April 30, last year, both McLaughlin and Hill were concerned in the supply of Class A drug, cocaine, at their Wellmeadow Street flats. 

The pair are also both alleged to be concerned in the supply of Class B drug, cannabis. 

McLaughlin is alleged of a separate offence in which claims she shouted and screamed at a police officer on April 30 last year, before barging past her. 

Hill is accused of a further four charges. 

Prosecutors allege that on March 24 last year at the Waterfront Leisure Complex in Greenock, he observed a child under the age of 13, “doing a private act.” 

The charge alleges Hill of placing a mobile phone into a changing cubicle in an attempt to record the child in a “state of undress.”

A second charge alleges Hill of placing a mobile phone into a changing cubicle at the Greenock leisure centre on April 28, last year, in an “attempt to record” a female in a “state of undress.” 

Court papers further show Hill is alleged to have been in possession of indecent photographs of children between December 11, 2024 and April 30, 2025, and a further charge alleges he did take, or permitted indecent photographs of children to be taken within the same timeframe.
