Assault police officer charges against our client were withdrawn last week on the day of hearing in a Sydney Local Court.

Our client had entered a plea of not guilty to one charge of Assault Police Officer in Execution of Duty.  The matter was then listed for hearing.  On the day of hearing, police agreed to withdraw their charge after it was identified that there may have been a legal issue relating to the entry of police into our client’s home.  The charge was withdrawn and our client was discharged without any findings of guilt.

Upon conviction, our client faced a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment.
