Jordan Tyrone Alberts pleaded guilty in Mackay District Court to aggravated assault

A man lured into a ‘seductive ruse’ to rescue a woman claiming she was in danger ended with a shotgun held to his head in a plot described as like a bad Hollywood movie.

It was like a script out of a “B grade Hollywood film” playing out in an Ooralea street as a woman acted the part of a “damsel in distress” to lure a man to her home where he was met with a shotgun.

Jordan Tyrone Alberts was one of the two men waiting to ambush the victim.

He pleaded guilty in Mackay District Court to aggravated assault while his co-accused’s were yet to be arrested.

The court heard the “bizarre” series of events kicked off when a man Alberts had met in prison five years earlier had an altercation with another man in Mackay Supercheap Auto about 11.15am on August 27, 2020.

An argument broke out with the other man accusing the soon-to-be victim of owing him $20,000, after police had seized it in a raid from the victim’s house.

This ended with the man yelling “he wanted the money that afternoon, and if he didn’t get it — someone else would”.

The court heard it was about 7pm that day when the victim received a text from a woman claiming her boyfriend had recently abducted her and was continuing to stalk her.

She told him she was scared and asked for his help.

He agreed to help and met her outside an Ooralea home where she invited him in — securing all three locks on the door behind him and taking him to her room.

Unknown to the victim, Alberts and his co-accused were waiting in the room with a shotgun.

Crown prosecutor Elise Sargent said the co-accused used the weapon to strike the victim on the back of the head, before he was faced with the barrel of the gun.

To stop him from taking the gun, Alberts launched into an attack, punching the victim on the head three times before they fell to the ground wrestling. Picture: Facebook

The woman picked up the shotgun as the co-accused entered the fray where he yelled at the victim about the $20,000 that was supposedly owed.

The victim eventually broke free, managing to run to a nearby friends house in an “escape for his life” while Alberts gave chase.

The victim was treated at hospital for three deep cuts to his head, several abrasions to his body and a bite mark on his shoulder.

Albert’s DNA was found on a cigarette butt at the house, and blood on the victim.

His defence barrister Scott Mclennan argued Alberts’ conduct was less serious than his co-accused as he did not wield the shotgun and had been staying at the home when the assault unfolded.

Judge Gregory Lynham called the series of events a “seductive ruse” reminiscent of a “B-Grade Hollywood film” referring to the woman as playing the part of the “damsel in distress”.

The court heard Alberts had spent a total of 163 days in custody.

Judge Lynham sentenced Alberts to two and half years in jail, with a fixed parole release date on January 24, 2022.
