Beaudean Elliott Russell of Lee Street was before the court charged with driving during a disqualification period, using an unregistered Class A motor vehicle, using an uninsured motor vehicle, using a vehicle on the road without paying the motor vehicle tax and using a Class A vehicle displaying misleading number plates.

According to police facts, around 8.30am on April 24, police were patrolling Macquarie Street in relation to an unrelated complaint when they observed a Toyota Avalon driving in the car park of a local motel heading towards the road.

Police observed the vehicle reverse back into the car park and into a parking spot.

Police approached the vehicle and spoke to the driver, Russell, and asked for his licence.

He was unable to produce one saying it was in his motel room. When asked about the status of his licence, he admitted it was disqualified.

Police checks discovered Russell had been arrested and charged in relation to his licence status numerous times since December 2018.

Russell, who represented himself, told the court he was looking at selling the vehicle to keep himself out of trouble or moving interstate to South Australia to live with his mother.

Magistrate Michael O'Brien said Russell's criminal history didn't assist him and questioned his plans to keep out of trouble.

"Mr Russell you seem to go from state to state committing offences," he said.

"It doesn't matter what has happened in your life, you have chosen to behave badly and now you want to go back to South Australia and consume illicit drugs on a daily basis.

"What a good investment of tax dollars, I'm sure the tax payer would be pleased to see their money going to drug dealers," he said.

Magistrate O'Brien made a condition of Russell's intensive corrections order not to occupy the driver's seat of a motor vehicle and warned him that if he re-offended he would be going to prison.
