GLADSTONE man Curtis Reginald James Harding has narrowly escaped serving actual jail time after he offended while on a suspended sentence.
Harding pleaded guilty to six offences in Gladstone Magistrates Court on December 14 including failing to dispose of a needle and syringe, possessing utensils, possessing dangerous drugs, two counts of drug-driving and unlicensed driving.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Tanya Griffiths told the court Harding had a history of drug offending and had been given several opportunities through the courts.
Sgt Griffiths said his offending was placing other road users at risk.
Defence lawyer Cassandra Ditchfield said the 30-year-old âfell off the wagonâ after a relationship breakdown.
