A 28-year-old Toowoomba man enters the New Year with a three-month jail term hanging over his head.

Ranniel Evangelista Peres was released from the Toowoomba watch house on December 20 with orders that he was not to attend his father’s Glenvale address, the city’s Magistrates Court heard on Friday, December 29.

However, after leaving the watch house, the 28-year-old immediately returned to residence threatening to kill his father for turning him into police, police prosecutor Kinsley Weir told the court.

During the same tirade he had punched a hole in a plaster wall, Senior Constable Weir said.

Then on December 28, a police patrol spotted Evangelista Peres in the car with his father coming out of the Glenvale home’s garage in breach of the same court order, the court heard.

The 28-year-old was arrested and taken into custody.

Toowoomba Courthouse in Hume St, Toowoomba City.

He spent the night in custody before appearing before Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Friday to plead guilty to two counts of breaching the court order as well as to wilful damage of the wall.

Duty lawyer Nathan Bouchier, of Bouchier Khan Lawyers, told the court Evangelista Peres was already on a probation order and he had engaged with probation officers and was receiving counselling from Lives Lived Well.

His client had since moved in with a friend away from his father’s residence, he said.

Mr Bouchier asked the court to give his client a “last chance” and impose a wholly suspended sentence.

Magistrate Kay Ryan agreed and sentenced Evangelista Peres to three months in jail wholly suspended for nine months with the probation order to continue.
