Court dismisses Fevola charges

Posted May 25, 2011 11:29:00

A Brisbane Magistrate has dismissed charges against former AFL star Brendan Fevola.

The former Brisbane Lions forward was charged with public nuisance and obstructing police after he was arrested on New Year's Day.

Fevola took part in mediation sessions with police in a bid to avoid the charges.

He also paid $2,000 to a children's charity.

Magistrate Brian Hine dismissed the charges this morning after police offered no evidence.

Fevola's lawyer Jim Coburn says his client is pleased to put the matter behind him.

"He's going well. He sounds on top of things," he said.

"I haven't really asked him how he's settling back into Melbourne, but he seems to be upbeat and positive."
