Former MP and government minister Dean Jonas has filed a lawsuit against the Commissioner of Police, Corporal Jason Joseph, and the Attorney General, alleging assault, malicious prosecution, and false imprisonment.
The case arises from a February 23, 2023 incident where armed officers, led by Corporal Joseph, allegedly entered Jonas’ home without a warrant, assaulted him, and arrested him in front of his nine-year-old son during a custody dispute.
Despite informing officers of ongoing legal proceedings, Jonas was detained and later charged under the Small Charges Act.
His attorney successfully argued in September that the charges were improperly filed without prior approval from the DPP and later refiled without notice, leading to their dismissal by Magistrate Dane Hamilton Jr. as an abuse of process.
