A woman who appeared in Kingaroy Magistrates Court today on 10 charges will stay in jail until at least just before Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Gehrke, 32, pleaded guilty to multiple charges of stealing, enter premises and unlawful use of a motor vehicle as well as single charges of unlicensed driving and contravening a police direction.<\/p>\n

Police Prosecutor Sgt Wayne Bushell said Gehrke was serving two suspended jail sentences when some of the offences were committed.<\/p>\n

The theft charges related to groceries, fuel, make-up, false nails and a bracelet.<\/p>\n

Gehrke also stole $4750 worth of goods from a shed on her parents’ property while they were on holidays, including a water pump, chainsaw, whipper snipper and generator. She also took four firearms from a gunsafe.<\/p>\n

On December 20 last year, she broke into an Anglican Church office and stole about $500 cash collected by the parishioners as part of their annual Christmas Bowl appeal.<\/p>\n

The unlawful use of \u00a0motor vehicle charges related to two instances when Gehrke had persuaded people to loan her cars but did not return them.<\/p>\n

“She told police she had destroyed it (the second car) by running a tractor over it but couldn’t say where; somewhere in Yarraman,” Sgt Bushell said.<\/p>\n

The “contravene direction” charge related to her providing a false name to police.<\/p>\n

Acting Magistrate Graham Hillan imposed jail sentences totalling nine months and fined her $900.<\/p>\n

He also ordered she pay a total of $5383.90 restitution and invoked the suspended sentences which will be served cumulatively to the other sentence.<\/p>\n

He set a parole release date of December 22, 2014.<\/p>\n

Police did not oppose bail today in Kingaroy Magistrates Court for a Nanango man who has been held in custody since his arrest in March.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brendon John Jackson has told the court previously he intends to plead not guilty to charges of possessing and supplying dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Solicitor Chris Campbell said today his client intended to maintain his plea of not guilty.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Sgt Bushell said an earlier hearing had been aborted by a prosecution application.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Hillan granted Jackson bail on condition he have no contact directly or indirectly with any prosecution witnesses.<\/p>\n

A man clocked by police at 122km\/h in a 60km\/h zone in Youngman Street, Kingaroy, has been fined $1200 and disqualified from driving for six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colin Reginald Bell, 28, pleaded guilty to speeding and driving without due care and attention.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Sgt Bushell said a police patrol responding to a hooning complaint spotted a black Commodore ute making a lot of noise; the vehicle then fishtailed and took off at high speed.<\/p>\n

After Bell did a U-turn he was intercepted by police. His car was impounded for 90 days.<\/p>\n

A nurse on night duty who stole 20 tablets of endone and several ampoules of morphine while working at a local hospital has thrown her career “down the drain”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magistrate Graham Hillan said Michelle Karen Hampton, 36, had “put paid” to all the expense and time she had put into becoming a nurse.<\/p>\n

Hampton pleaded guilty to stealing as a servant.<\/p>\n

Mr Hillan acknowleded that Hampton had been under stress and there had been a death in the family, but that did not excuse the offence.<\/p>\n

He fined her $1200. No conviction was recorded.<\/p>\n

Police found five Medicare cards in different names, a Visa card and seven drivers’ licences and equipment used to forge licences when they raided a house in Blackbutt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dathan Lee Quinn, 42, pleaded guilty to receiving tainted property, unlawful possession of a licence and using a thing to forge a document.<\/p>\n

He also pleaded guilty to two unrelated drugs charges following a traffic stop by police in July where methamphetamine was located.<\/p>\n

Solicitor Caroline Cavanagh said her client had told her he had made the licences for something to do.<\/p>\n

However, Magistrate Hillan said other unlawful reasons could be suggested.<\/p>\n

Quinn was fined a total of $2700. Convictions were recorded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
