A 66-year-old man had a matter against him dismissed in Supreme Court No. 2A.

Evans Maurice Malcolm also known as Poodle of Lower Brighton, St George had been charged with causing serious bodily harm to Clyde Alman with intent to maim, disfigure or disable him on September 12, 2011. He was also charged with a second count of inflicting serious bodily harm on Alman on the same date.

The prosecutor in the matter was State Counsel Kevin Forde.
