Chady Wazir, 32, of Paddington in Sydney, was charged with behaving in an offensive manner, maliciously damaging property and entering a vehicle without consent in relation to an incident at Darlinghurst on August 6.
He was sentenced in Wagga - after pleading guilty to the charges - because it is where he is currently undergoing rehabilitation in an attempt to beat his addiction to crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as ice.
Wazir shot to fame in October last year when he was placed on an 18-month good behaviour bond after being convicted of the charge "offer indignity to dead human body".
He was the first person in more than 150 years in NSW to be sentenced for the offence.
A drug-affected Wazir threw items on and around the body of former American actress Joyce Germain after he found her in the bathroom of her unlocked Darlinghurst unit in the early hours of April 20, 2006.
Ms Joyce had suffered numerous injuries and had a cord around her neck when found by Wazir, but there was no evidence put before a court that he was responsible for the death.
He told police he became angry and annoyed and screamed out loud when he found Ms Joyce - whom he did not know - and threw items around the area, including blankets, clothing, pillow, utensils, lipstick, a knife and containers.
Wazir left the unit and did not report Ms Joyce's death.
The latest charges were laid after police responded to a report on August 6 this year of a naked man in Boundary Street, Darlinghurst, who was covered in oil and wearing only a workman's tool belt.
Police found Wazir covered from head to toe in motor oil and the car he was in also with oil on the floor, seats and dashboard.
The vehicle belonged to a hospitalised man who had left it at a nearby workshop for repairs some weeks before.
Wazir's solicitor yesterday, Jim Allen said the stresses of a $30,000 car loan had spiralled into drug use and addiction that caused his "mad" behaviour.
Magistrate Peter Dare SC fined Wazir $300 for damaging the car and while convicting him on the other two charges did not impose any further penalty.
