Police facts tendered to court indicate that Newberry was stopped by police at Thrumster on September 7, 2020.

He has pleaded not guilty to, supplying a prohibited drug at Lake Innes on June 5, 2020 - 55 grams of methamphetamine and goods suspected of being stolen or unlawfully obtained - $800 on June 5, 2020.

Newberry is yet to enter pleas on the charges of, not stopping when directed by police; a police pursuit, driving recklessly and possession of a prohibited drug. These charges relate to alleged incidents on June 5, 2020.

Magistrate Darcy adjourned the matter against Newberry to the Port Macquarie Local Court for sentencing on November 11.
