Huntly’s Brayden Olsen appeared in the Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday, having spent the past 95 days in custody, mostly at Port Phillip Prison.

Magistrate William Gibb said it was time Olsen “step up” and return the favours his “long suffering” mother had given him.

He eyeballed Olsen as he urged him to take control of his life.

“(Your life) is being flushed down the toilet. That is where it is headed,” Mr Gibb said.

“(You’ve spent) three months in jail at the ripe old age of 19, if this behaviour continues... you will be back sooner rather than later.”

The court heard Olsen resisted police attempts to arrest him in Mitchell Street, Bendigo, in April last year.

Police had asked him to leave the area and he was charged for using threatening language.

Charge sheets the Bendigo Advertiser has viewed state police arrested Olsen after he made threats to a person at Golden Square in August last year.

He was also charged with trespassing and theft of a baseball bat, an arrow, cricket bat and a computer hard drive at Huntly Primary School in November last year.

Mr Gibb paid credit to Olsen’s mother, who sat in the court at times fighting back tears.

“This woman is always here for you, why not give a bit back, that would be good,” he said.

Defence lawyer Julien Lowy told the court “clearly there are issues that need addressing” to which Mr Gibb responded that the comments were an “understatement”.

Mr Lowy said his client had a learning disability and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

He said Olsen had “issues with authority figures”, had been without a male role model since the age of four but showed signs of hope.

But Mr Gibb said Olsen had a “me against the world mentality” that led him to continually fight people, including prison inmates.

“He is difficult for anyone to deal with, he becomes aggressive to everyone,” he said.

Mr Gibb said Olsen had little faith in the legal profession and said claims the courts hadn’t given him a chance were “errant rubbish”.

He praised Olsen for his desire to work and said it was crucial he find employment if he was to reform his life and avoid jail.

Olsen must perform 50 hours of unpaid community work during the next six months.

He must also receive continued assessment and treatment for drugs and alcohol and attend a residential facility if required.

Vocational training, compensation for Huntly Primary School and behaviour counselling were also conditions of Mr Gibb’s orders.
