Joey Pace has pleaded not guilty to six charges, including aggravated animal cruelty and discharging a firearm on the Singleton military base, after 98 kangaroos were found dead there in October.
Joey Pace, 43, of Williamtown, appeared briefly in Raymond Terrace local court on Monday after being arrested by NSW police in the Hunter Valley. The man’s defence lawyer, Glenn Kable, told the court Pace would be pleading not guilty to all charges. Police raided Pace’s property at Williamtown in December and allegedly seized three firearms after the discovery of the dead kangaroos on the Singleton army base in October.
Pace has been charged with six offences including aggravated animal cruelty between 1 and 8 October at Broke, discharging a firearm on the Singleton military base, trespassing on commonwealth land and harming or attempting to harm protected animals, namely the 98 kangaroos. He is also accused of failing to ensure a Stirling 20 rifle was kept safely at Williamtown on 20 December 2024, and not having approved storage for ammunition when being the holder of a category A or B licence. Police were called after the dead kangaroos as well as an ammunition box and two cartridges were found on the Singleton army base on 8 October
