Damien Bambridge's bail was extended at the Ballarat Magistrates Court on August 20 after he pleaded guilty to nine charges, including recklessly driving a car causing damage to a police vehicle, unlicensed driving, committing an indictable offence while on bail and possessing cannabis.

Five days after the plea hearing, the 30-year-old father was re-arrested for new offences allegedly occurring on June 18.

Bambridge was expected to be sentenced on Friday after he was assessed for a community corrections order but his lawyer, Adrian Paull, said he needed more time to address the new charges.

He said Bambridge's new offences, which were not detailed to the court, resolved when he was remanded in custody on August 25.

Magistrate Ron Saines agreed Bambridge's sentence could be adjourned to include the new alleged offences.

The offending Bambridge was to be sentenced for occurred at Lawanna Court, Delacombe, on the night of December 16.

Police were called to an address after reports of a family violence incident. On arrival, one police officer identified Bambridge as the driver of a black Holden Commodore while an unknown person was sitting in the passenger seat.

Police members activated their lights but Bambridge drove towards the marked police vehicle before stopping 50 metres in front of them.

He then drove at a fast rate of speed towards the police vehicle and mounted a footpath. The police officer turned his vehicle to the left to stop Bambridge from passing when the collision occurred.

The police vehicle was damaged while Bambridge's front wheel was extensively damaged but he continued to drive until it was immobile and he stopped in Sutton Street.

Bambridge remained in the driver's seat and he was pepper-sprayed before one of the police members tried to drag him out of the car.

When he was out of the car, Bambridge took up a fighting stance at the police members and he was pepper-sprayed a second time, taken to the ground and arrested.

Bambridge's black Commodore was searched three days later and a number of items were found, including calibre cartridges and a small zip-lock bag of cocaine.

Bambridge was on bail at the time of the offending for assaulting police and reckless conduct serious injury.

He made no application for bail on Friday and will return to court later this month.
