Police found McMillan crouching behind a shed in Elsie Street at 8.10pm, he jumped over a side fence but stopped after running about 100 metres.

McMillan represented himself in court and said he was selling drugs for the money and "just to survive".

"I just want to do my time and get out of there before my mum passes away, she's pretty sick at the moment," he said.

Magistrate David Day gave him two concurrent 13-month jail sentences with six-month non-parole periods for supplying methamphetamine and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
