A Maryborough man who was shot in the head earlier this year has been charged with possessing or buying restricted medication.
Daniel Baumgart did not appear in front of Magistrate John Milburn in the Maryborough Magistrates Court on Monday, July 14.
He is charged with two counts of buying or possessing S4 or S8 medicines or Hazardous Poisons, one count of possessing utensils or pipes, and one count of failing to properly dispose of needles on August 6, 2024.
Charges laid on September 9, 2023 are also still in front of the courts, with these including three counts of buying or possessing S4 or S8 medicines or Hazardous Poisons, and one count of possessing property suspected of having been used in connection with the commission of a drug offence.
In January, he was shot in the head after an alleged altercation at a Maryborough unit block, an incident that he miraculously survived.
Police later arrested Todd Gary Ashwood for the attempted murder of Mr Baumgart, who remarked to this publication that his life “should be made into a Netflix series”.
His lawyer, Warren Hunter, asked Mr Milburn for a lengthy adjournment for the matter so an indictment could be prepared.
The matter was adjourned to December 16, with Mr Baumgart’s bail enlarged.
