Subscriber only A court has heard how a young man threatened two taxi drivers with violence, holding a needle to one driver s neck and stabbing another. Joshua Dean Fuller, 21, pleaded guilty in Bundaberg District Court on Monday to a number of offences including unlawful wounding and armed robbery. The court heard Fuller called a taxi in to take him from a hotel in Bargara to a Bundaberg address in May last year. When the cab arrived at Fuller s destination there was a dispute regarding the fare, with the driver refusing to open to boot to the defendant s belongings until the fee was paid.
Mr McLennan said Barrett began using ice with an unemployed peer group after he had lost his job “and essentially he’s been off the rails since then”.
When Mr McLennan said Barrett would be able to live with and be supported by his parents at Grasstree Beach, Judge Vicki Loury pointed out he had family support when he committed these crimes.
Judge Loury described Barrett’s upbringing as privileged and said he had a criminal history.
“It seems to be that you are in clear need of supervision,” Judge Loury said, later telling the young father he needed to grow up and be a role model for his child.
