Bailey Lloyd, also known as Bailey Evans, was on Thursday jailed for eight months after a string of driving offences, selling cars that he didn't own, and posting a witness's statement about a Wodonga shooting on social media with details about the witness's partner's home.
His father, Justin Evans, is also in custody in Victoria and his mother faced the County Court earlier this year.
Bailey was arrested on Wednesday during a search warrant at a home on Mint Street in Wodonga.
He had posted a statement made by a man about a Wodonga shooting in November 2018 involving Jordan Bourke, on social media.
On October 19, Lloyd wrote "you still across from APCO on Mate Street", which is where the witness's partner lives with her kids.
The man had made the statement into the shooting incident and became a crown witness.
When he saw his statement was posted, he immediately felt "sick and scared".
He went to Albury police and reported the matter and officers obtained screenshots and messages from Lloyd's Facebook page.
Lloyd knew the man was a prosecution witness in the attempted murder case.
While he admitted to the Facebook post during his interview with Wodonga officers, he refused to give the access code to his phone.
It followed a spate of offending in the weeks before his arrest.
Lloyd, who was already on a community corrections order and is banned from driving, was seen by police near his black Holden on September 21 and admitted to disqualified driving.
He offered to sell two cars which he didn't own on September 23.
Both were registered to other people and he exchanged them for a utility.
Police again saw him driving on Anzac Parade on October 15 after receiving information that his Commodore was travelling at high speed on the Murray Valley Highway.
He was seen driving at Whitebox Rise on October 24 and three days later on Brockley Street.
The 21-year-old later told police he just liked driving despite being disqualified.
He couldn't explain why he harassed the witness in the shooting case.
He received an eight-month jail term for the offending and lodged an appeal after receiving the sentence.
He also has matters pending from an incident on May 26 last year.
