A Queensland man serving a community-based order for trafficking was brought back before the court to deal with several crimes he committed while dealing drugs.
Nathan Steven Wilson was sentenced to a three-year jail term with immediate release on parole, after pleading guilty to trafficking before the Toowoomba Supreme Court in May.
The higher court heard over four months, the 37-year-old supplied small quantities of a range of drugs including, meth, cocaine, cannabis, DMT, in a bid to facilitate his addiction.
On Tuesday, July 1, the Toowoomba Magistrates Court heard Wilson has a number of charges remaining before the court that occurred before and during his time as a drug peddler.
The boiler maker pleaded guilty to a raft of charges, including manufacturing a weapon, knuckle duster, unlawfully selling a weapon on two occasions, drug driving while unlicensed, possessing drug-related items, permitting the use of a place, and stealing a street sign.
Solicitor Alysha Jacobsen told the court that the manufacturing and selling of a weapon related to his trade as a boiler maker.
She said after relocating to Logan away from bad influences, Wilson was doing well and engaging with his parole.
The court heard that before the drug trafficking sentence, the tradesman had no criminal history.
For the remaining charges, Wilson was fined $1800, disqualified from driving for two years, and sentenced to a three-month jail term with immediate release on parole.
