A man who held-up a bottle shop and carjacked a vehicle belonging to an elderly person - only hours after getting out of prison - is having his eligibility for residential rehabilitation tested before being sentenced.
Dane Adam Williams, 41, was originally due on Tuesday to learn the consequences for the armed robbery and carjacking, but Newcastle District Court Judge Roy Ellis adjourned the matter to allow him to undergo an assessment as to whether he was suitable for a spot in the Balund-a Program.
