Hobbs several times drove her car at her former partner, who in desperation picked up a brick and smashed the driver’s side window to deter her.

A 12-month apprehended violence order for the victim’s protection was granted in Albury Local Court on September 15.

But magistrate Tony Murray has extended the order by a further 12 months until 2016 after Hobbs pleaded guilty in Albury Local Court to charges of menacing driving with intent, intimidation and contravening an apprehended violence order.

Mr Murray has ordered a pre-sentence report on Hobbs and adjourned her sentencing until February 3.

Hobbs, 26, of Briwood Court, Albury, is banned from going within five kilometres of the Howlong post office.

She separated several months ago from her partner of eight years and they each sought apprehended violence orders.

Her former partner was granted an order at court on September 14 but 10 days later, Hobbs was in her car and after putting her window down, had a conversation with the victim.

As he knelt beside the car, the discussion soon became heated and he allegedly grabbed her throat for several seconds before releasing his grip.

As he walked away, Hobbs reversed a short distance and drove towards him on the nature strip.

He took three steps backwards believing she was trying to run him down.

Her vehicle hit a concrete pipe, but she reversed and drove towards him again, forcing the victim to run.

He ran into a neighbour’s yard and Hobbs drove into the property before reversing out.

She made another attempt at driving towards him in the yard and only just missed him by about 30 centimetres.

She reversed and again drove towards him but he picked up a brick and smashed her window which prompted her to leave.

The victim went to the police station and Hobbs arrived soon after and admitted breaching her order.
