Karra Elaine Fackender faces Warwick Magistrates Court following driveway blue

A young Warwick mum’s driveway quarrel quickly turned into an explosive tirade towards a woman and the police, with the foul-mouthed rant ending in a court date.

A Warwick mum has found herself in front of a magistrate after a driveway argument escalated into a tirade involving both family members and the police.

Karra Elaine Fackender pleaded guilty in Warwick Magistrates Court on Monday to one count of causing a public nuisance.

The court was told the 23-year-old was engaged in an argument on December 30, 2022, which quickly escalated.

Defence lawyer Clare Hine said Fackender was the primary carer of two children, who see their father on the weekend, and on the weekend in question, she had found the children were with their aunt instead.

“The background is she had gone down to collect the children and the aunt has said ‘no, I’m not giving you the children, I’m holding on to them’,” Ms Hine said.

Fackender then told the woman to tell the father of the children to drop them back as agreed and she left the property in an attempt for a “cool down period”.

Later that day, Fackender returned to the woman’s address with her mother and sister, while the father of the children and a group of friends had also turned up, allegedly attacking and smashing Fackender’s car with a bat.

“She was very angry she wanted her children back, there was no reason for the aunt to keep hold of the children,” Ms Hine said.

The police then attended the address and Fackender began yelling from the driveway at both police and the aunt.

The court was told Fackender yelled “you’re a f---ing sick c--t” to a woman talking to police and “you f---ing killed my father you are useless” towards a cop on the scene.

Fackender was warned by officers and walked away before turning and spitting at the police before being arrested.

Magistrate Virginia Sturgess described the conduct as “unacceptable.”

“There’s context to this, it’s unacceptable you’ve behaved this way and spitting at the police is not an acceptable way to express your frustration,” Ms Sturgess said.

“The police weren’t doing the wrong thing by you, they simply didn’t have the power to do what you wanted them to do.”

Fackender was sentenced to a three month good behaviour bond. No convictions were recorded.
