Police will allege the man was seen attacking at least two delivery vehicles driving along on Casino St, South Lismore about 10pm on January 24. The man faced Lismore Local Court on January 25 for a release application, but Magistrate Jeff Linden ruled the man was non-compliant for bail and had his application refused. The court heard that the man had attended a friend s funeral earlier in the day and consumed alcohol for the first time in months which had triggered this behaviour.

Patrick Roger Wood, 26, was sentenced for driving furiously in a motor vehicle to cause bodily harm and failing to stop and assist after causing injury. Wood was driving a Nissan Navara west on Barker St, Casino when he conducted a U-turn and struck a 40-year-old man on 10.15pm on June 26, according to police. The victim was carried on the Nissan s bonnet for about 10 metres before falling to the ground. The court heard that Wood had asked a group of people, which included the victim, to get off the road.
