A man has been granted bail despite showing a “clear disregard” for court orders after crashing his ex-girlfriend’s car allegedly almost twice the legal limit.

Jack Michael Adams, of Narellan in south western Sydney, faced Wyong Local Court on Monday, May 19 after spending the night in police custody.

Police were called to the Pacific Highway about 4.15pm on Sunday, May 18, following reports a car had crashed into a roundabout.

The court heard 31-year-old Adams significantly damaged the front two wheels of the white Mitsubishi Express van but continued on a short distance.

He was breath tested at the scene and returned a positive reading before being taken back to Wyong Police Station Where he recorded a blood alcohol limit of 0.097.

Adams was taken to Wyong Police Station.

Checks revealed Adams was disqualified from driving and subject to an interlock order requiring him to have the device fitted in any car he drove in the future.

He was charged with mid-range drink-driving, drive while unlicensed, drive without an interlock device, negligent driving, breaching an AVO and possessing a restricted substance after police allegedly found several tablets of Xanax on him without a prescription.

The court heard Adams told police that he had been called by his ex-girlfriend to help her move and she provided him with the keys to the van.

However Adams was subject to an apprehended violence order (AVO) which prevented him from having any contact with the woman.

The police prosecutor opposed bail, telling the court Adams was subject to two separate community correction orders and disqualified from driving for a previous high range offence.

She said Adams had a “clear disregard” for court orders and “made admissions” to police about trying to help his ex-girlfriend move house and had “driven off with two flat tires (while) under the influence”.

Adams’ Legal Aid solicitor applied for bail, telling the court the breach of AVO was “minor” and only came about through admissions he made to police.

She said he was a landscaper and that he could abide by strict bail conditions including that he live at Heatherbrae near Port Stephens.

Magistrate Justin Peach granted bail saying a full time custodial sentence was not a forgone conclusion and that Adams did not have any breaches of bail on his record.

Adams was adjourned to June 2 to enter pleas.
