KICKING his girlfriend out of bed, ripping up her parents lawn and wrestling her father has led to a Warrnambool man being ordered to complete 100 hours of community work.

Damian Michael Keane, 21, of Bell Street, pleaded guilty in Warrnambool Magistrates Court this week to careless driving/improper use of a vehicle, unlawful assault, assault by kicking and breaching an intervention order.

He was convicted, fined $700 with $113 costs, has lost his drivers licence for three months, will have to complete a safe driver course and was placed on an 18-month community corrections order.

The CCO includes conditions he complete 100 hours of community work and undertake assessment, treatment and programs including a mens behaviour change course.

Police alleged that Keane was dating the daughter of the victims. At 10pm on May 9, Mr Keane and his then-girlfriend went to a North Warrnambool house to store property in a garage.

There was an argument and Keane was asked to leave. He got into a car and security camera footage showed him driving along the front lawn for up to 20 metres, ripping up the grass.

He got within about two metres of a bay window where his girlfriends parents were.

Keane had to surrender his vehicle under the hoon legislation.
