Manly West man Glen James Davies, 44, granted bail on 26 charges for alleged meth supply

A man accused of possessing and supplying meth across southeast Queensland had a win in court after his partner pleaded with a magistrate.

A man facing 26 charges for alleged meth supply was dramatically released after a rousing plea from his partner.

Glen James Davies, 44, of Manly West, was directed by Magistrate Zachary Sarra to empty his pockets and step into the dock during his Wynnum Magistrates Court appearance when fresh charges for alleged meth supply were revealed.

Mr Davies faced a total 36 drug and drug related charges that included 26 for supplying dangerous drugs (meth) last week.

His day turned dramatically worse when police prosecutor Senior Constable Duncan Blackburn alleged Mr Davies had supplied meth on February 10 despite being on bail for the same offence.

Police will allege Mr Davies had prior to February 10 been found in possession of 17.6 grams of meth on one occasion and eight grams meth on another.

He is alleged to have supplied meth through a distribution network that ranged from Kangaroo Point, South Brisbane, Caboolture West and Coolum.

Mr Davies made matters worse when he admitted to his continued meth use.

“I continued doing it for my own habit,” Mr Davies said.

“I don’t know how to get off it.”

During the appearance, Mr Davies’ partner asked to speak.

She told the court she had seen Mr Davies struggle with his meth addiction and urged the court to allow him to remain in the community so that he could seek further treatment.

The court heard Mr Davies had gone through a traumatic period during the passing of his mother and the recent serious illness of his brother.

Magistrate Zachary Sarra blasted the defendant.

“Why would you (allegedly) give this poison to others?” Mr Sarra asked.

“You (allegedly) gave no thought to the families being destroyed by this s**t.”

The court heard Mr Davies had never spent time in jail and had no similar criminal history.

He faces a likely three to six-year jail sentence should he be found guilty in the district or supreme court, according to Mr Sarra.

Mr Sarra clarified were it not for his partner’s impassioned support and his lack of previous criminal history, Mr Davies would not have been released from the dock.

The defendant was granted bail and is next scheduled to appear before court on May 9.
