The daughter of broadcaster Paul Holmes is in court this morning to fight drugs charges.

Millie Elder has been charged with possessing methamphetamine, cannabis, a pipe and obstructing a police officer.

She has pleaded not guilty.

Ms Elder was with a group of friends in December 2009 and driving a Mercedes when police approached her.

Constable Julian Donaldson said he spotted a friend of Ms Elder drinking a vodka cruiser when he approached the group.

He said Ms Elder got out of the car and phoned her lawyer.

She then ran off.
