A man labelled “the instigator” of a late night street disturbance at Moura in Central Queensland had a rap sheet for similar offending, a court has heard.
Isac Daniel Livesey, 23, pleaded guilty in Biloela Magistrates Court on March 8 to public nuisance and unlawfully entering a yard.
Police prosecutor Kelvin Boyd said that at 11pm on February 17, police attended Davey Street, Moura, in relation to an ongoing disturbance at a house.
Mr Boyd said the informant told police a group of men had come to the house and called an occupant out to fight “over ongoing matters between the parties”.
Mr Boyd said Livesey was the instigator.
The prosecutor said a male occupant who Livesey called out to, to fight, had remained inside the house with his girlfriend “hoping the group would leave”.
Mr Boyd said the group did not leave and Livesey and another man climbed over a locked driveway gate.
“(Livesey) has picked up a wheelie bin, throwing it onto the front veranda of the residence,” Mr Boyd said.
“(Livesey) has then accessed the veranda and attempted to open the front door of the (house) by kicking it.”
Mr Boyd said the two men eventually left the yard and the group of men left the area.
However the group later returned to the house and another disturbance occurred, the court heard.
Mr Boyd said during this incident, Livesey chased the male occupant of the house around a vehicle which was parked on the footpath.
Mr Boyd said Livesey was yelling threats and abusive language, which caused numerous residents in the street to come outside their homes to see what was going on.
The court heard witnesses showed police phone footage of what had happened.
It was told that Livesey had previous public nuisance offending on his history.
Solicitor Richard Parks said Livesey was currently unemployed and receiving Newstart Allowance.
Mr Parks said there had been an ongoing problem between Livesey and the male victim in this matter, with his client being subject to “comments and goading” not only on this night, but also previously.
Mr Parks acknowledged Livesey had multiple previous public nuisance offences on his history, saying “there’s a few of them there”.
Magistrate Philippa Beckinsale told Livesey he had to make better decisions and that fines and community service orders imposed previously had not stopped him from this sort of offending.
Ms Beckinsale placed Livesey on six months’ probation and convictions were recorded.
