Block contestant Suzi Taylor, who has attracted numerous headlines around conduct, will be released from custody after more than 70 charges against her were dropped.
Taylor pleaded guilty almost 30 charges, including possessing small amounts of cocaine and cannabis.
Last month, the District Court cleared Taylor on more serious extortion charges, deprivation of liberty, fraud and assault after she was accused of attacking a man at her apartment in October 2019.
Dozens of charges were dropped in Brisbane Magistrates Court today, with the prosecutor offering no evidence on more than 70 offences.
She has already spent some 202 days in custody with more than a month in solitary confinement, the court was told.
