An Ipswich court has heard a man caught with an ice stash hidden in his shoe had taken steps to shake his drug addiction prior to facing sentence this week.
Ethan Ellison was said to have taken part in the Court Link program designed to help defendants tackle the issues that often underlie their offending.
After completing the program with positive results, Ethan Ernest Ellison, 27, from Bundamba, pleaded guilty in Ipswich Magistrates Court to eight charges including possession of the drug ice; driving when drug positive; three charges of stealing; possession of a knife; possession of property suspected of being used in a drug offence; and failing to appear at court.
