Finlayson was arrested after police searched her car on November 11 last year.
Police facts state that when they searched her car last year, Finlayson admitted there was ‘weed’ in her car door.
However, when police searched the car they could see cannabis, Xanax and two plastic containers of GBL.
‘The accused stated “the weed and Xannies help me sleep” and “I use g”,’ police said.
In the following days, police obtained a search warrant and raided her Rosebery apartment where they found more cannabis and Xanax.
In July, Finlayson’s lawyer told Downing Centre Local Court that Finlayson had a drug problem.

Magistrate Allen on Tuesday said Finlayson’s dependence on GHB led to her need to have larger quantities of drugs.
‘Then she needed a sedative, namely Valium, in an effort to achieve sleep and relaxation,’ Magistrate Allen said.
‘Police found her asleep and disoriented in a car on the street on occasions.
‘She had a very significant drug addiction problem.’
The 28-year-old was a cheerleader for the NRL clubs Cronulla Sharks and Wests Tigers, as well as the Sydney Kings basketball team in 2014.
She briefly shot to fame in 2011 as the runner-up beauty on Season 3 of Beauty and the Geek.
Her and the ‘geek’ from the season began to date after the show concluded but broke up ten months later.
In 2013, she became the face of the iconic Australian brand Chiko Rolls.
Producers from The Bachelor expressed interest in getting her on the show as a contestant, but Finlayson declined.
She more recently appeared topless in photo shoots for Penthouse magazine.
