*FORMER MP JONAS TO RETURN TO COURT FRIDAY*
Former St. George Member of Parliament Dean Jonas will return to court on Friday to answer four charges from an altercation with police last Thursday.
Jonas is facing charges of Disorderly Conduct, Threatening Language, Resisting Arrest, and Battery on Police.
Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh confirmed Jonas’ station bail when he appeared in St. John’s Magistrates Court for the first time this morning.
The police prosecution requested an adjournment, informing the court that a prosecutor from the Director of Public Prosecution’s Office would take charge of the matter.
The Chief Magistrate granted the adjournment despite objections from Jonas’ attorney Wendel Robinson, who said his client was ready to proceed.

The attorney insisted that the police had enough time to prepare for the matter, especially since an officer had released the police bodycam footage, revealing all the facts of the case.
Robinson also questioned why the DPP’s office needed to take over the matter when all the alleged offences are under the Small Charges act.
