Mr Michaelson said the current changes were filed a month after his client was sentenced on the other matters and argued for concurrency with his previous sentence. The pair met at a different McDonald’s car park in Shepparton and drove together to the Pine Lodge Hotel where the drug deal took place, with the officer paying $6000 for 28g of the drug.Īber’s solicitor Ian Michaelson told the court these matters pre-dated a court appearance of Aber’s in October last year where he was sentenced to prison and a community corrections order for charges including trafficking methamphetamines, possessing GHB and possessing the proceeds of crime.
The court heard the pair was in contact again on February 26, 2021, and it was organised that Aber would sell the undercover officer 28g of methamphetamines. Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Carita Thompson told the court Aber made contact with an undercover police officer on social media on January 28, 2021, before meeting with them in a McDonald’s car park in Shepparton where Aber sold 1g of methamphetamines to the officer for $300.
