A 30-year-old Orange man jailed for three months after violating a domestic violence order and possessing drugs just days after parole.

A 30-year-old Orange man was jailed for three months after breaching a domestic violence order just four days after parole, police said. He was arrested on November 24, 2025, after fleeing a victim’s home through a window and later found hiding at his residence with 0.2 grams of methamphetamine and a capped needle. He pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching an apprehended domestic violence order and drug possession. The order barred him from approaching the victim or her children within 20 meters of their home or workplace, especially after using alcohol or drugs. Magistrate Gary Wilson noted the man had a prior conviction for a similar offense and emphasized the order’s role in preventing violence. The sentence, backdated to November 24, makes him eligible for parole on February 23, 2026. He is now in a drug-replacement program and plans to seek legal changes to the order.
