The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty on June 11 in Rockhampton Magistrates Court to one count of possessing a dangerous drug, possessing drug items and two breaches of domestic violence orders.

She said the first entry on his record for domestic violence was in August 2019 and he had a 15-month prison term sentence in his history for physical violence against the same victim.
