Sydney King,33, is facing drug and driving charges after she was arrested at Everton Upper last month allegedly with 1,4 Butanediol, 6.2 grams of methamphetamine, 0.2g of heroin, cannabis seeds and six xanax tablets.

She was released on bail on her second attempt in July, but arrested again this week for breaching that bail by not living at her designated address.

King told Wangaratta Magistrates Court she could not stay there anymore because of inappropriate behaviour by the occupant.

Senior Constable Brett Angel gave evidence the woman was “heavily substance affected at the time” when she was arrested on August 11.

“She was irrational, she was crying,” he said.

“She was extremely emotional, which is consistent with Ms King using drugs.”

He said she had previous called the 1,4 Butanediol, which turns into GHB when ingested, her “happiness in a bottle”.

Speaking from the court dock, where she sat in handcuffs, King denied using drugs while on bail and said she had been crying because she was traumatised.

“I’ve been off shard (methamphetamine) that whole time … I’ve sold both my cars so I’m no longer a risk of driving. Why are you so against me?” King said.

“I want to succeed at this and I’ve not been afforded a proper chance because I’m on remand.”

King represented herself because one lawyer removed herself from the case and another available in Wangaratta that day was already representing her co-accused in the drugs case.

She starting crying and begging magistrate Fran Medina to release her on bail so she could ensure her dog was looked after properly.

Bail was refused because King had no place to stay and had not provided the required “compelling reasons” why she should be released after already breaching bail.

The case was adjourned until October.
