Ex-AFL umpire evaded police in 'panic' due to warrant
About five years after retiring from AFL umpiring, Troy Pannell's life began to implode. He had been working in the shipping industry, alongside his 16-year referee career, until he was suspended in June 2024 pending a fraud investigation. Pannell lost another job of 16 years and had his assets frozen, due to the SeaRoad Shipping fraud probe. Realising he could no longer provide for his two children, Pannell's lawyer on Wednesday said his mental health "really began to decline". "He was under a lot of stress," defence lawyer Jessica Clarebrough told Heidelberg Magistrates Court. "He was being investigated. He had his assets frozen. He felt he was unable to provide, he'd lost his job of 16 years, and he was very concerned about the impact on his ex-partner, his partner, his parents and his two children." Media caught onto the fraud investigation after he failed to turn up to the Supreme Court over the asset freezing, and warrants were issued for his arrest. Pannell sent letters to his family, before embarking on a solo road trip to places in South Australia, NSW and Victoria he remembered from childhood. Ms Clareborough said he then attempted to take his own life. He was pulled over twice by police but failed to stop, on May 30, and then evaded police on June 6, before crashing his van. Ms Clareborough said her client was "panicking" as he knew there was a warrant out for his arrest. Pannell appeared at the court on Wednesday via video link from Melbourne Remand Centre. Ms Clareborough said he had been in custody for 48 days, for both the Supreme Court matter and these charges. He pleaded guilty to three offences, including dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime, failure to stop on police direction and evade police. The property offences related to a vehicle, phone and laptop Pannell had not given back to his new employer, Demos Property Services. Magistrate Michael Wighton said the charges were not serious enough to warrant a prison term. He handed Pannell a six-month good behaviour bond, cancelled his driver's licence and disqualified him from driving for six months. Pannell will return to the magistrates court on January 23, 2026, and his charges will then be dismissed if he has been of good behaviour. Separately, he has pleaded guilty to contempt of court in the Supreme Court, and is fighting fraud allegations from SeaRoad over payments he made while working there. He will return to the Supreme Court on Friday for a sentence on the contempt charges. The experienced umpire, who presided over more than 200 AFL games, attracted attention after he awarded 17 free kicks to the Western Bulldogs in a 2016 match against the Adelaide Crows. In May 2014, Pannell was left with a concussion and had to be taken from the ground on a stretcher after he was accidentally knocked in the head by Sydney defender Nick Malceski. He retired from professional umpiring in 2019 due to soft tissue issues. Lifeline 13 11 14 beyondblue 1300 22 4636

Woman, 40, charged with teen's murder
A woman has been charged with the murder of a teen after the pair were found together 'semi-conscious' at a home in suburban Brisbane. The 40-year-old woman and the 18-year-old man were found at a Marbura Court home in Daisy Hill - about 26km south of the city's CBD - at about 3pm on May 30. 'The 18-year-old man was transported to hospital, where he remained in an induced coma before passing away on June 4,' the Queensland Police Service (QPS) said in a statement. 'The woman was also transported to hospital, where she remained in an induced coma before recovering on June 1.' The woman and the man were known to each other, police have confirmed. Homicide detectives established a crime scene at the residence. The woman was initially charged with attempted murder, but the charge was upgraded to murder on Wednesday. The woman, from Daisy Hill, was due to appear at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Wednesday. Detective Senior Sergeant Daniel Cunningham said the investigation involved close collaboration between specialist units. 'This is an incredibly tragic case that has had a devastating impact on all involved,' he said. 'Our investigators have worked methodically to gather evidence and support the (alleged) victim's extended family through this complex and confronting investigation. 'Our thoughts are with the young man's loved ones and those in the community who continue to grieve this loss.'

Black man punched and pulled from his car by Florida deputies on video is set to speak to public
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Black man who was shown on video being punched and dragged from his car by Florida deputies during a traffic stop will speak to the public on Wednesday. William McNeil Jr., along with his family and attorneys, is set to host a news conference at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Paul Church of Jacksonville. Footage of the 22-year-old man's arrest has sparked nationwide outrage, with civil rights lawyers accusing authorities of fabricating their arrest report. The video shows McNeil was sitting in the driver's seat, asking to speak to the Jacksonville deputies' supervisor, when authorities broke his window, punched him in the face, pulled him from the vehicle, punched him again, and threw him to the ground. But Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters says there's more to the story than the cellphone video that went viral. He warned the public about 'a rush to judgment' that could lead to faulty conclusions. McNeil's lawyers say the video clearly depicts police brutality. Body camera footage of the encounter shows McNeil had been repeatedly told to exit the vehicle. And, though McNeil earlier had his car door open while talking with authorities, he later closed and appeared to keep it locked for about three minutes before deputies forcibly removed him, the video shows. The vantage point of the body camera footage that was released makes it difficult to see the punches that were thrown. The cellphone footage from the Feb. 19 arrest shows that seconds before being dragged outside, McNeil had his hands up and did not appear to be resisting as he asked, 'What is your reason?' He had pulled over and had been accused of not having his headlights on, even though it was daytime, his lawyers said. 'What happened to William McNeil Jr. is a disturbing reminder that even the most basic rights — like asking why you've been pulled over — can be met with violence for Black Americans,' lawyers Ben Crump and Harry Daniels said in a statement. Crump is a Black civil rights attorney who has gained national prominence representing victims of police brutality and vigilante violence. 'William was calm and compliant,' they said. 'Yet instead of answers, he got his window smashed and was punched in the face, all over a questionable claim about headlights in broad daylight.' The sheriff said the cellphone camera footage from inside the car 'does not comprehensively capture the circumstances surrounding the incident.' 'Part of that stems from the distance and perspective of the recording cell phone camera,' the sheriff said in a statement, adding that the video did not capture events that occurred before officers decided to arrest McNeil. Cameras 'can only capture what can be seen and heard,' the sheriff added. 'So much context and depth are absent from recorded footage because a camera simply cannot capture what is known to the people depicted in it.'
