Baker did not appear in court, but a plea of guilty on one count of driving under the influence of alcohol was entered on his behalf, according to Mullumbimby Local Court filings.

Australian media reported that Baker had been pulled over in July when behind the wheel of a grey Telsa that was being driven in an "erratic manner" just after 2:00 am.

Sentencing is expected in the coming days.
