Carberry plead guilty to charges of contravening an AVO, common assault, a charge of destroy or damage property, driving while disqualified, driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, entering enclosed land without a lawful excuse and escaping police custody.
Magistrate McCarron said each AVO breach offence taken individually would not pass the serious threshold, but taken together are quite serious and a message must be sent about his inability to stay away from the victim.
The court heard that about 1pm on March 15, 2021, Carberry and the victim had engaged in a verbal argument about several matters including a claim the victim had smoked the last of a quantity of tobacco in a shared pouch.
Police said the argument escalated to a point where Carberry pushed the victim who fell to the ground.
Police said Carberry placed both arms around the victim's head and neck causing a small cut and swelling to the victim's bottom lip.
Carberry released the victim after 10 to 15 seconds, police said.
After a number of other incidents the victim contacted the police resulting in Carberry leaving the area. Police arrived soon after but were unable to locate Carberry.
Around 3:05pm that same day Carberry attended Condobolin Police Station where he was placed under arrest and refused bail by police.
During his interview with police, Carberry refuted a number of claims made by the victim.
About 8:25pm while Carberry was being moved from a cell at Condobolin Police Station to the station custody area so he could be moved to a police van police told the court he escaped custody, running west along Marsden Street before turning south down the rear of the Condobolin Post Office where police saw him scale a fence onto Bathurst Street before they lost sight of him.
Extensive police patrols in the area turned up no sightings of Carberry.
