Two women appeared in Noosa Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with committing public nuisance only hours after leaving court for the same offence earlier this month.
On Tuesday, Jessica Owen and Sarah Smith pleaded guilty to two counts each of public nuisance and one count each of drinking on a road.
The court heard Owen and Smith were seen swearing and yelling at the Hastings Street bus depot at 2.45pm on 3 February, only a few hours after they had appeared in Noosa Magistrates’ Court charged with public nuisance for jumping in front of a bus and a car.
Witnesses said Owen was seen to remove her underwear before the two women boarded a bus.
At about 4.30pm the same afternoon, the two women were seen walking along Gibson Road, Noosaville, yelling and swearing at pedestrians and cars.
The police found Owen and Smith lying on a commercial driveway, drinking alcohol from a bottle and a wine cask.
Magistrate Annette Hennessy described the two women’s behaviour as “very poor” before fining Owen and Smith $750 each for the offences.
Convictions were recorded.
