A Dubbo man will spend the next eight months in jail after he was caught driving an Audi around with a dart gun under the car’s CD player.
According to court documents, police witnessed 34-year-old Dylan James Fieldsend driving a black Audi at high speeds along Sheraton Road in Dubbo on June 24.
When Fieldsend parked the car on a Gosse Avenue footpath police searched it and found a 13cm dart gun under the CD player in the centre console.
A pair of 11cm metal darts were found near the handbrake.
“Are you serious?,” Fieldsend asked police who questioned him about the items.
“I bought it off Wish.”
After Fieldsend was arrested and remanded in custody, he made a series of phone calls to a woman who he was banned from contacting because an AVO was in place.
Police intercepted the calls, which Fieldsend made on various days in August.
In court documents, details of remarks Fieldsend made during the calls were revealed.
“Why do you sound different, you got confidence about ya … who the f*** is there?,” he said in one call.
“Tell the dog to f*** off cause if he comes to jail, I’ll stab him.”
Other calls involved arguments about drugs and during one conversation when the woman claimed she never got a profit from the sale of drugs, a paranoid Fieldsend lashed out.
“I hope you get bashed and raped, I hope you kill yourself,” he said.
“You f****** mutt.
“Whose there, I’ll f****** stab the maggots in the f****** throat the mutts.”
In Dubbo Local Court, Fieldsend pleaded guilty to 15 AVO breach charges, however he pleaded not guilty to one count of prohibited weapon possession.
The court heard Fieldsend had major difficulties with drug use for a long period of time and wanted to do something about it.
Magistrate Gary Wilson told the court Fieldsend had failed rehab before and found him guilty of all offences.
“You’ve been assessed as a high risk of reoffending and it’s not very often that comes before the court,” magistrate Wilson said.
“It’s your criminal history that brings you undone … given the similar type of offending in the past and the sentencing assessment report which does not help you at all.
“It’s pretty bad in fact, with respect to your remorse and your attitude.”
Fieldsend was convicted and sentenced to an 18-month term of imprisonment, with a 12-month non-parole period.
He will be eligible for parole on July 31 next year.
