While the specifics of the driving incident were not mentioned in the summary, nor in court, it did state Tai had stopped her vehicle, blocking the lane, to confront the victim. Tai and her partner got out of their car and, fearing for her safety, the victim drove away. But they were followed to an address in Lepperton where, in the driveway, Tai punched her in the face a number of times. The woman yelled for help, which prompted her friend to come out of the house.
Duncan provided a false name but when her true identity was discovered by police she was found to have an active warrant to arrest. Officers also discovered a sawn-off .22 calibre firearm, wrapped in a blue gang shirt, in the rear passenger foot well of the car.

Defence lawyer Samantha Hunt, appearing for Nina Laird, sought an end sentence of five months’ imprisonment on the firearm charge. Police prosecutor Sergeant Lewis Sutton believed a sentence in the range of five months or higher was warranted.
