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.
