Man hands himself in and is jailed
A REPEAT traffic offender has handed himself into Tweed Heads Police Station more than eight years after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The 39-year-old Queensland man was wanted for driving while disqualified in 2004 and was known to police and the court as a repeat offender.
He appeared in Tweed Heads Local Court yesterday after handing himself into Tweed police.
He was convicted and sentenced to four months imprisonment.
Tweed Police Inspector Darren Steel said people often took years to give in to their conscience.
"Sometimes people just hand themselves in," Insp Steel said.
"They're sick of looking over their shoulders."
