Bribie Island mum Alicia Faith Mace, 26, faced Caboolture Court and pleaded guilty to two charges of assault, one of stealing, and one failure to appear on Tuesday February 22.

The court heard that on July 16, 2021, Mace failed to appear at court for the eighth time. She has previously faced imprisonment for failing to appear, and also has five previous breaches of bail charges.

On March 19, 2021, the court heard Mace was heavily intoxicated on a wild night out at the Acacia Ridge Hotel where she was spotted ‘chewing her cheeks’.

At about 7.45pm Police were called to attend after Mace refused to leave when asked to, and after assaulting the Acacia Ridge duty manager and general manager.

The court heard Mace became aggressive towards the managers, was slurring her words, flapping her arms around, and chewing her cheeks.

When she was ushered out of the hotel she became even more angered and spat at the managers, the court heard. Her spit landed on their faces and chests. CCTV footage from the night confirmed her assaults.

Originally when questioned by police Mace denied everything, the court heard.

Then on June 24, 2021, at approximately 4.20pm, Mace stole products from Bargain Central Bribie Island, the court heard. She entered the store, filled a shopping bag, and left without paying. CCTV confirms her stealing.

The court heard police have attempted to contact her twice and have asked for $76 for the store.

The court heard Mace is seeking help, and currently resides with her grandfather who she is caring for at Bribie Island.

For the stealing and assault charges Mace was sentenced to a probation order of 18 months, and for failing to appear she was sentenced to a wholly suspended imprisonment order of three months. Convictions were recorded for all charges.
