The third drug supply offence involved Morgan offering to supply two vials of testosterone to the drug user.

Crown prosecutor Edward Fleetwood said when questioned by police, Morgan referred to the $6500 supplier as an “imaginary friend” and his discussions with the drug user was him “talking sh--”.

Defence barrister Maree Willey said Morgan was married with three children – one 16 year old daughter who he has no contact with and the child’s grandfather was a Rebels bikie president – along with children aged two and five who live in Rockhampton.

She said Morgan had been a stay-at-home dad since being arrested, but was bailed to live with his mother instead of with his family.

Ms Willey said he cared for the children while his wife worked.

She said he had a difficult childhood with his father dying when he was a baby and his mother suffering from major depression.

Ms Willey said Morgan left school in year 11 and went to work at the meatworks.

She said he also completed three years of a bakers apprenticeship, worked as a removalist and worked at Toyota until his arrest.

Ms Willey said Morgan had started using methamphetamines when he was 18 but stopped after being incarcerated in 2014.

Morgan was sentenced in 2014 in the Supreme Court in Rockhampton to 12 months prison with parole after serving three months for possessing 9.587g of pure meth and 214g of marijuana along with having a hydroponic set up.

After prison, Morgan got into bodybuilding, competing in 2017 and 2018. He now recreationally lifts weights.

Ms Willey said he was approached by a school friend in 2019 about joining the Mongrel Mob, and after his release from presentence custody in October 2020, Morgan left the club, returned club items and had two of four Mongrel Mob tattoos covered up with plans for the other two to be covered too.

She said he had also returned clean drug tests since his release.

Ms Willey said Morgan planned to get a job after being released from prison for this offending as it had a financial impact on his family with only one parent working full time.

Judge Michael Burnett sentenced Morgan to 18 months prison, declared 13 days presentence custody and set parole release for March 13, 2022.
