Daniel Johns has been ordered to complete 10 months of an intensive corrections sentence – to be served in the community – after pleading guilty to a high-range drink-driving offence.As reported by ABC News, the former Silverchair frontman appeared in person at Raymond Terrace Local Court today (July 6).
Ruling magistrate Ian Cheetham reportedly informed Johns that the maximum sentence for an offence of his kind would be 18 months in jail.
However, he was entitled to have 25 per cent of that time voided on account of pleading guilty.Johns was ordered to complete his sentence in the community rather than jail, as Cheetham reportedly told the court: “There is no doubt a custodial sentence will not achieve an appropriate result for him or the community.”As part of his sentencing, Johns will continue with the psychiatric treatment he had already been receiving.
He has also been disqualified from driving for the next seven months, after which point he will need to have his car fitted with an alcohol-reading interlock device.
