Police were “clearly unwelcome” at a Dandenong home garage on Christmas Eve 2019 where they unexpectedly visited three men armed and smoking ice, a Victorian County Court judge stated.
One of the trio was Ilija Stojanovic, then 30, who stood up from a table and tried to walk past police, Judge Rosemary Carlin said at a sentencing hearing on 5 May.
The accused threw a loaded five-shot revolver towards a mate. The gun bounced off the mate’s chest and landed on a car bonnet.
Police seized a stolen Audi coupe with stolen NSW plates, a gold imitation handgun, mobile phones, $2190 cash and 15.8 grams of meth in deal bags at the table.
