A Mackay magistrate told a serial drunken pest he had two options â either complete the maximum number of community service hours or receive a jail term.
The 23 year old, who has since moved to Western Australia, had been highly intoxicated at his own going away party when he committed his seventh public nuisance offence in five years.
Brodie Jordan Arnold, through his solicitor, had pushed for the mandatory minimum penalty of 40 hours community service allowing him to soon return to the west coast, but Magistrate Bronwyn Hartigan said, âabsolutely no wayâ.
Mackay Magistrates Court heard on November 29, 2020 Arnoldâs friends had been trying to get him in a taxi on Victoria Street but he was swearing and pushing his friends.
Prosecutor Chelsea Pearson said the 18 year old was also found with restricted drugs, a sheathed hunting knife, a flick knife and scales to weigh drugs. Donohue told police he bought four grams of MDMA the night before for his own use and the cash was to buy more ecstasy. One would expect to see that amount of drugs in possession of someone who has at least got a criminal history, Ms Hartigan said, adding the cash to buy more drugs was suggestive of some serious criminal conduct . An 18 year old from Mackay was caught with MDMA, acid, restricted drugs, knives and $2000 in cash during a police stop at Glenella.

Janessa Ekert Journalist I didn’t always want to be a journalist. In fact, when I was younger my dream was to be an archaeologist – who wouldn’t want to be like Indiana Jones? However, now that I am a journalist, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life.
I love listening to people’s stories and sharing them with others.
I’m a Queenslander through and though. Mackay is the furthest south I have ever lived. I’m an only child and I was raised in Airlie Beach.
My parents are former boaties; we lived on a 42 foot.
Mrs Adorni-Braccesi s hair will be donated to Wigs for Kids because they work in conjunction with the Kids with Cancer Foundation . Another factor was because the hair remained in Australia to be treated and made into wigs for Australian kids. You can only donate hair if it isn t dyed or chemically straightened, she said. Mrs Adorni-Braccesi made the decision about November last year but at the last minute decided to turn the move into a fundraiser, which has reached more than $1000 in two days. I thought maybe I would get to $200, to already be at $1000 I m amazed, the 32 year old said, adding her work had really gotten behind the initiative with a number of colleagues donating to the cause.
