A YOUNG woman with a growing history of violence and driving offences has been refused bail after an Ipswich magistrate deemed her to be an unacceptable risk to the public.
In her latest charges, the teenager is alleged to have driven into a police car at Redbank.
Saphfire Angel Erihe-Schaeffer, 19, from Redbank, appeared in custody before Ipswich Magistrates Court on Tuesday on new charges including dangerous driving.
She appeared via video link from the police watch-house, and was visibly upset when bail was refused, saying that she was âtrying my hardest, pleaseâ.
Erihe-Schaeffer is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle (with previous conviction), on Brisbane Road at Redbank on Thursday April 8; driving when disqualified; failing to comply with a police request to stop; and two charges of not stopping for red traffic lights in Redbank.
