Ingram, also known as Pierpoint-Ingram, had previously entered a guilty plea to attacking another lady in Griffith and had already been struck with six apprehended violence orders to safeguard five persons, including Ms. Quinn.
After his arrest in November, local police granted him release because his allegations did not qualify as “serious” domestic violence offences.

Ingram was allowed to leave the courtroom and carry out his bail requirements, which included reporting to the Lake Cargelligo police every day.
He was prohibited from following, attacking, threatening, stalking, or harassing Ms. Quinn or anyone she was in a relationship with.
In addition, he was prohibited from damaging her belongings, hurting her animals, or being around specific individuals 12 hours after using alcohol or illegal narcotics.
