A TEENAGER has admitted to attacking a man at his Wallsend home with a piece of PVC pipe, and wounding him, over $200 which went missing on a drug run.
Kade Priestly, 18, pleaded guilty to reckless wounding in company in the Newcastle District Court on Monday, just days after his co-accused, Aaron James Wilson, was sentenced to three years in prison over the home invasion.
The court has heard Priestly got angry after returning from the 34-year-old victim's house, where he bought cannabis, when he realised he was missing $200.
Suspecting the 34-year-old Wallsend man was responsible, Wilson and Priestly went back to confront him. Wilson hit the man in the head, while Priestly assaulted him with a PVC pipe, leaving him with several wounds that had to be glued and stapled. He will be sentenced on Friday, December 9.
