A FORMER "high risk offender" who was subjected to one of the longest supervision orders in NSW flooded his Facebook account with more than 40 delusional and accusatory posts about authorities in the space of a few days last week.
And then the 36-year-old, who has spent the vast majority of his adult life behind bars for failing to comply with the strictures of an extended supervision order (ESO) imposed after he was released from prison in 2009 for serious crimes committed when he was 16, is accused of carjacking a taxi driver with a hammer and leading police on a high-speed pursuit along the M1 at Morisset before crashing into a police car and rolling several times.
The man was later charged with nine offences, including aggravated break and enter, carjacking, attempted carjacking and police pursuit and refused bail in Newcastle Bail Court on Saturday.
He will next appear in Wyong Local Court on Monday. The 36-year-old created a Facebook account late last month and then during the space of six days last week posted 41 times about community corrections orders and police officers associated with his ESO, much of it seemingly completely delusional. The man, who the Newcastle Herald has chosen not to name due to the serious sexual offences he committed while a juvenile, was released from jail in 2009 and placed on a five-year ESO to monitor his movements.
But in 2020, more than 11 years later, the order was still current because the clock stopped running every time he was imprisoned for even minor breaches of conditions. As a result, despite the man committing only one criminal offence not related to a minor breach of the ESO he had been jailed 10 times in the last 10 years.
The order was finally revoked last year. But it appears the man was still consumed by his years subject to the order. He posted repeatedly about authorities stalking, threatening and racially abusing him in the days before he is accused of carjacking the taxi driver and leading police on a wild pursuit.
