A Central Queensland man has received a suspended sentence after breaching a domestic violence order so he and his victim could get back together.
The defendant, who cannot be named due to legal reasons, pleaded guilty in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on January 6 to one count each of contravening a domestic violence order, possessing a dangerous drug and possessing a drug utensil.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shaun Janes said police attended an address in Longreach on January 3 and saw the defendant leave a home with the victim.
Sgt Janes said later that night, police were made aware of a domestic violence order, which prohibited the defendant from contacting, approaching or attending the victim's address.
