A QUEENSLANDER who broke into a pharmacy in Mount Morgan, stealing 147 packets of medication, before wrestling staff, will remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing on 09 Dec.
Police prosecutor, Senior Constable Sarah Rowe, described Nigel Ray Haplin's behaviour as "concerning" at a hearing of Rockhampton Magistrates Court earlier this week.
The Court heard the 42-year-old had a seven-page criminal record, and had been handed a 12-month jail sentence on 06 Jun 2021.
Magistrate, Philippa Beckinsale, rejected an application for bail, made by Haplin's lawyer, Samantha Legrady, who noted that he had recently been put on a suboxone program for opioid addiction, which he planned to continue.
