After ordering drinks from McDonald’s, a visibly substance-affected Courtney Pollard drove back around and parked her car across the entry.
The same police who had earlier pursued Pollard, who has pleaded guilty in court to more than a dozen charges, as she fled a traffic stop arrived at the Carrum Downs restaurant and parked their car in front of hers.As one officer tried to open Pollard’s car door she sat up, started the car and drove it straight into the police van.
She didn’t stop. Instead she drove away, running over the ankle of the officer she had knocked down, causing multiple fractures that required surgical pinning. The County Court was told Pollard has a long criminal history, including jail time for dangerous driving, and a history of substance abuse starting at 12.She has post-traumatic stress disorder among other mental disorders.
