The 25-year-old has been charged with two counts of wound with intent to resist arrest, destroy/damage property and common assault over the confrontation in Toronto on October 6, as well as breach of bail for previous drug-related offences.According to a statement of police facts tendered to the court, officers were called to St Thomas Street in Bronte at about 11.20am on September 29 after reports that a half-naked man had parked a car in the middle of the road and was blocking traffic.
The police facts said that when asked why he had parked the car and was standing in the middle of the road, Mr Scales-Copeland told the officers: "I saw some sunlight and I needed some vitamin D". Police allegedly then found 0.93 grams of green vegetable matter in a bag in the back seat of the car, believed to be cannabis.After speaking for himself in an unsuccessful bail application at Newcastle Courthouse on Sunday, solicitor Sherleen Chand represented Mr Scales-Copeland when his charges were mentioned in Toronto Local Court on Tuesday, where the matter was adjourned to December 3.
