A Bathurst man was fined $400 for threatening to smash a car’s headlights with a hammer over bright lights.
A 57-year-old Bathurst man, Michael Peter Phillips, was fined $400 after pleading guilty to intimidation in September 2025 for threatening to smash a man’s car headlights with a hammer.
The incident occurred on June 11, 2025, in George Street, Bathurst, after Phillips confronted a driver waiting for takeaway, claiming the vehicle’s headlights were too bright.
After retrieving a hammer from his car, he approached the vehicle, then returned later when the driver returned.
He was arrested at a nearby pub, admitted to intending to break the headlights, and acknowledged a prior similar offense in 2012.
The court emphasized the seriousness of the threat, resulting in a $400 fine.
