Maddison Maree Bower admits to raft of Tamworth driving and chase charges but will fight pursuit allegations

But, Maddison Maree Bower is set to fight a string of other drug-related and police pursuit allegations.

In Tamworth Local Court this week, Bower pleaded not guilty to charges of driving a car while disqualified; using an unregistered vehicle; using a vehicle without paying tax; using an uninsured car; and police pursuit.

She has also denied charges possessing a prohibited drug; two counts of possessing a prescribed substance; six counts of goods in custody. Those charges relate to an investigation by Operation Southbreak after a break-in at a home in Camira Crescent in Hillvue on October 12.

Bower admitted to one count of driving while disqualified; using an unregistered car on the road; police pursuit while driving dangerously; and using an uninsured vehicle.

Magistrate Julie Soars formally refused bail, ordering Bower to spend the festive season behind bars.

She will front court again in January. She's been in custody since her arrest on the night of November 16.

Police claim they spotted the 23-year-old behind the wheel of the white Holden Commodore on Goonoo Goonoo Road about 10.30pm on November 16.

Officers gave chase near South McDonald's, and they allege Bower lost control of the car and it spun out-of-control and struck a police car at the intersection of Hillvue and Duri roads.

Bower and her passenger were arrested, but her passenger was released without charge.

Oxley police said the marked police car was damaged but the officers inside were not injured.

Investigators claimed Bower was known to officers and had been wanted for breaching her bail for property offences, and had been earlier chased by officers.

It's the police case she failed to stop for officers about 11am on November 11 in East Tamworth.

It's alleged Bower was behind the wheel of a white Holden Commodore in Chelmsford Avenue and took off from police before they called off the pursuit because of safety concerns.
