A man who attempted to pour petrol on a woman through a window after she woke him up was on probation for drugs.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reason, pleaded guilty on April 14 in Rockhampton Magistrates Court to one count of breaching a domestic violence order.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Peter Rumford said the defendant was woken up by a female visitor on April 13 at a Depot Hill residence, tripped over a television, yelled at the woman to return to inside the dwelling and called her a ‘dumb c--- sl--’.
He said the defendant, when the woman refused to go back inside, poured petrol out the window she was standing under, just missing the victim.
