Melbourne, June 23 (ANI): A self-styled witch in Australia, who says she is not subject to earthly laws, has been sentenced to two months jail for dragging a traffic cop by the arm for 200m in her car.
As Eilish De'Avalon was led to the cells, she still believed she could get away with what she had done and told Judge Geoff Chettle so.
"I decline your offer, your Honour," the Herald Sun quoted her as saying.
To which Judge Chettle replied: "You decline my offer? Well I'm afraid it's not negotiable."
Sen-Constable Andrew Logan suffered serious arm and shoulder injuries in the incident in Geelong in February last year.
Judge Chettle said Sen-Constable Logan pulled De'Avalon over in Moorabool St after he saw her talking on her mobile phone while driving and asked for her details.
He said De'Avalon, of Highton, behaved in a bizarre fashion, telling the officer she was from another world and did not need a licence and that she had a spiritual and universal name that was not recognised here.
Judge Chettle said she then drove off with Sen-Constable Logan's arm trapped in the driver's side window and it was only when she slowed down to turn a corner that he was able to reach in and grab her keys.
De'Avalon, 40, a marriage celebrant, self-styled witch and alternative therapies practitioner, pleaded guilty in Geelong Magistrates' Court to recklessly causing serious injury, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified, using a mobile phone while driving and failing to stop on police request.
She was jailed for two months with another four months suspended, fined 1250 dollars and had her licence suspended for a year.
A psychiatrist told the court that De'Avalon has expressed remorse and offered Sen-Constable Logan "spiritual healing and a massage" which he refused. (ANI)
