A WOMAN left an unusual calling card for her ex-husband, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard.
Having tracked the ex down to his new girlfriend’s home, the woman left the following in the letter box – chewing gum, gamblers’ literature and a torn portion of their marriage certificate.
She was clearly in breach of a full intervention order. To make matters worse, she gave police doctored documents to try to show she was in hospital at the time.
The judge took into account the woman’s list of physical ailments and fined her $2400 – mainly for producing the false documents.
YOU’D think after a few years on the Casey council beat that one of the Star News reporters would understand how the council meeting schedule works.
Not for the first time the reporter had to check why there wasn’t a meeting this week, and was reminded that Casey council meetings are only held on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.
Hopefully now he’ll remember how it works, but let’s not hold our collective breath!
RELIGIOUS speeding and drug and alcohol influenced drivers were rampant on local roads this Easter.
Within two hours Cardinia Highway Patrol members impounded two Pakenham cars after one man was caught travelling 50km/h over the speed limit on his way back from church.
The Easter Sunday incidents – a part of Victoria Police’s Operation Nexus – all started at 8.30am on the Princes Freeway.
A 22-year-old Pakenham man’s car was impounded for a month and he had his licence suspended when he was detected driving at 150km/h in a 100km/h zone.
Hours later, Cardinia Highway Patrol members pulled over a 61-year-old Pakenham man on Henry Road. He was also travelling home from church, this time with his mother, when he blew a positive 0.136 per cent.
His car was impounded.
