IN OTHER NEWS:

Detectives applied for an arrest warrant on May 1 in the belief Carroll was avoiding police, and he was arrested by Albury officers.

He faced the Wodonga Magistrates Court in prison greens on Thursday morning during a brief appearance on a video link from custody.

The court heard he had multiple matters, some in the lower court stream, others in the committal stream.

He represented himself, but prosecutor Thomas Crouch said it would be "highly desirable" for him to get a lawyer.

Carroll did not apply for bail.

Magistrate Ian Watkins adjourned the matter to August 13.

Carroll still has a string of other matters pending in Albury Local Court.
