The drunken antics of Scott Victor Freeman have been outlined in Albury Local Court, where the 27-year-old pleaded guilty to resisting police and destroy or damage property.

While he didn’t want to owe up to what he did on that early morning of November 25, he didn’t hesitate to do so in court.

Magistrate Rodney Brender asked Freeman, who has family ties to the Albury area, whether he lived in the Northern Territory.

“Yes sir,” he replied. “I traveled last night to be here.”

Mr Brender told Freeman he had taken this into account in sentencing, as well as the cost Freeman incurred in travelling such a distance.

“I note you take responsibility, although there was no explanation as to what occurred.”

The incident that led to the electrician’s eventual arrest took place about 2.30am.

Police said the victim was driving his ute along Dean Street, near the David Street intersection, when he saw three men crossing the road in front of him.

As the victim passed the group, he heard a bang on the left side of his vehicle.

The man stopped. Freeman then ran towards the back of the ute and kicked the tailgate, causing a dent.

But Freeman did not realise that police were watching from the front of Sweethearts pizza restaurant.

The officers called out to Freeman, telling him to stop so they could speak to him but instead he fled.

Very soon afterwards, police were driving along Young Street when they received information that Freeman was was seen being chased by a witness along Olive Street.

The witness tried to grab Freeman by his T-shirt, but Freeman broke free – though his top was ripped.

Freeman then ignored police who yelled at him stop, running across the street.

They then arrested him, but Freeman resisted by lifting his arm to break free and run off. He was caught again outside the Seaton Arms Motor Inn. Freeman was convicted and fined $990.
