Shoulda stayed out of trouble

EIGHTEEN months after publicly promising to clean up her act, teenager Isabelle Marlor is back to her old ways.

This time, a week after giving birth, she narrowly escaped prison time for possessing ice, stealing and then crashing a tradie’s car and breaching bail.

Marlor became infamous on the Gold Coast when she proclaimed she “coulda, shoulda, woulda” injured people when she ploughed onto a footpath driving drunk and without a licence at Chirn Park on August 6, 2016.

She was given two and a half years probation.

Yesterday she was sentenced in Southport Magistrates Court to 18 months in prison for breaching that probation order as well as unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possessing dangerous drugs and breaching bail conditions.

Marlor was given immediate parole release.

The court heard yesterday Marlor was found walking the streets in Hope Island on August 7 last year appearing to be under the influence of drugs.

A police search found she had a small clipseal bag of ice on her.

On October 11 last year, Marlor took a car from an Arundel construction site. The tradie has left his keys in the tray and watched as it drove off, thinking another worker was moving it. Days later, witnesses photographed Marlor running from the same ute after she crashed it in Bundall.

The court was also told Marlor failed to report to police as per her bail obligations three times.

Defence lawyer Brianna Bullock, of Legal Aid Queensland, said Marlor was determined to kick her drug habit.

She said Marlor had lost custody of her three children.

Ms Bullock said Marlor had not taken drugs while she was pregnant.

“She is devoted and determined as she will ever be to get her children back,” she said.

Magistrate Dermott Kehoe resentenced Marlor for the incident on August 6, 2016 as well as her latest crimes. He warned that if she committed any further crimes while on parole she would be sent to prison.
