Bateau Bay: Logan Wynen, 32, pleads guilty to police pursuit, breaching AVO and intimidation

A magistrate has questioned how a woman, who has never held a licence but has a shocking traffic record, could possibly avoid jail after leading police on a pursuit in an unregistered, uninsured car.

Logan Wynen, 32, of Forresters Beach, faced Wyong Local Court on Tuesday where she pleaded guilty to failing to stop during a police pursuit, driving while disqualified and driving an uninsured, unregistered vehicle.

The court heard she had already pleaded guilty to intimidation and contravening an apprehended violence order (AVO) in an unrelated incident.

An agreed set of facts states Wynen was a well known drug user when she drove past police patrolling Bateau Bay Rd, Bateau Bay, shortly before 11am on December 18.

Checks revealed the red Holden Commodore’s registration had been cancelled in May.

Police pulled in two cars behind Wynen as she waited to turn right onto The Entrance Rd.

But when the lights turned green Wynen “immediately accelerated” through the intersection before reaching speeds of 130km/h in a 60km/h zone.

Wynen was forced to brake heavily, “narrowly missing the vehicle in front of her” before changing lanes.

“As the accused approached the roundabout at the intersection of The Entrance Rd and Eastern Rd she went over the grass median strip into oncoming traffic,” the facts state.

“Police immediately terminated the pursuit.”

Wynen turned down the dead end street leading to the golf driving range, bowling alley and dentist.

“Police entered the road and observed the accused approach Nathan Louis Dental Clinic,” the facts state.

“At this point the accused has collided with a parked yellow MG.”

Officers tried to park her in but she began to reverse, forcing police to make “an evasive manoeuvre” before jumping out and arresting her.

She initially told police she was fleeing her partner, who had just assaulted her, but then conceded to “lying about being assaulted”.

Wynen declined to be interviewed.

On Tuesday her solicitor applied for an adjournment for a sentencing assessment report (SAR) to be prepared.

A SAR is usually requested by the courts to determine if an offender is suitable to serve any penalty other than by way of full time incarceration.

Magistrate Trevor Khan approved the application but cautioned if Wynen came back before him to be sentenced it was unlikely she would face any other outcome.

“How does she avoid full time custody?” he asked before citing her “very bad driving history”.

He continued Wynen’s bail and adjourned her to February 24.
