The Unanderra man is accused of launching a baffling attack on his girlfriend’s neighbour, at one stage embedding two chairs into the front windscreen of his car, before exposing his penis to a woman and her teenage daughter.

The allegations are contained in a set of police facts tendered to Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday after Carney failed to turn up at court to answer property damage and obscene exposure charges.

He was subsequently convicted in his absence and a warrant issued for his arrest. He was apprehended while reporting to police on bail on Wednesday morning.

He was released on the same bail conditions later that day after telling Magistrate David O’Connor he had been given an incorrect court date.

Meantime, police allege Carney, a 27-year-old part-time furniture removalist, was at his partner’s house in Primbee when he became involved in an argument with her male neighbour just before 4pm on December 14.

Carney allegedly threw pot plants, glass bottles, chairs and a barbecue at two cars belonging to the neighbour, while he took to Carney’s vehicle with a baseball bat.

The court heard the neighbour got in his car and drove down the road, at the same time that a friend of Carney’s girlfriend arrived at the house.

Carney allegedly turned his rage to this woman, yelling abuse at her and referring to an acquaintance of hers in a derogatory way.

“I bet he’s got a small c—k, not like this,” Carney said before pulling out his own penis and swinging it in the air “like a helicopter”, police claim.

The woman told police she had two children in the car including her 14-year-old daughter at the time.

Both Carney and the male neighbour were arrested and charged.

Carney’s matter will return to court on January 24 either for sentencing or for him to lodge an application to have the convictions set aside.
