Jayden Bruce Butler, 23, of McGrath Street, West Bathurst was convicted in his absence at Bathurst Local Court on January 17, 2024 of driving while disqualified.
Court documents state Butler was behind the wheel of a vehicle heading along Havannah Street in South Bathurst around 2.20pm on December 15, 2023 when he was pulled over by police.
Butler was asked for his licence, so he gave officers a digital licence.
The court heard checks by the RMS database showed Butler had been suspended until March 13, 2024.
Sentence
Magistrate Lisa Stapleton read the charge against Butler aloud in open court, and took note of his "short [driving] history".
Then, Butler was fined $1100 and disqualified from driving for six months.
