A woman has been charged three times this week for driving on drugs, with a used syringe allegedly found beside a five-year-old passenger on one occasion.

Northern Territory Police said the 38-year-old was first charged on February 25, after being seen driving a vehicle with extensively damaged panels, a missing door handle, and sharp shards protruding from the right hand mirror and bumper.Police said they then searched the vehicle and found a used syringe next to a five-year-old passenger.

The woman was arrested and taken to Katherine Police Station, and is awaiting the results of further testing after that incident. She was charged again on February 28, after being spotted allegedly driving the same vehicle in the wrong direction down a one-way street.Yesterday, police again arrested the woman after she was seen in a different vehicle and tested positive for amphetamine and cannabis.

During the course of the week she was charged with 17 separate offences, including driving without L-plates, driving with a child unrestrained and driving while disqualified.She is due to appear in Katherine Local Court on Monday."This woman put the lives of herself and others at risk not once but three times," he said."Anyone disobeying the law can expect to suffer the consequences each time.

So why is she not in jail

wonderful...I know lets have pill testing for these people....ug

Why is she not in jail?

'Working in partnership with the community to ensure a safe and resilient Northern Territory' What a lousy motto, lets try 'Working in partnership with the community to get in the Guiness Book of Records for failures to protect the community and children' sad but accurate.

To be fare tho she was caught 3 times during one continuous bender.

Perhaps if ppl don’t give a shot they need a spell in prison to realise the law can’t be continually flouted

She must of been having a great time. LOL

Perhaps courts should start treating women the same as men.

what app is she using?

The Liberals no longer have a woman problem, they have a catastropheJulie Bishop and Kelly O'Dwyer combined departures represent an almost incalculable loss for the Liberal Party. All the woman that are leaving should form their own party 🤔 The women who were disloyal are the catastrophe! Even now Bishop is still leaking on the party. If they can’t be trusted then people won’t vote for them. You seriously have to ask the question, are women suited to politics? How many couldn’t tell the difference between robust politics and bullying?

Would you hire a woman who's been to prison?There are more women in Australian prisons than ever before and one of the biggest risk factors for reoffending is unemployment. Advocates say there's a lot to gain for businesses who hire women out of prison. Depending on job, a persons criminal history should be irrelevant, regardless of gender. Why women? All ex-cons have the same issues when reconnecting with society. So why make it gender specific? For the record: It’d depend on what they were convicted of, & how rehabilitated they were, for either sex! their problem is attitude Being in prison they have to be tough n bitchy if not they get bullied Sadly it affects their attitude & civility
