Hello
Hoping I can get some advice/insights to this situation. My son and his girlfriend were living with another male (and his gf), for the purpose of my question I’ll call this flatmate Ronny. Things had become tense amongst the two couples in recent weeks and my son and his gf had noticed Ronny had been behaving quite erratically this particular week to the point where they had wondered if Ronny was having a drug induced psychosis (Ronny had been doing psychedelic drugs the weekend prior). One evening Ronny through a closed bedroom door, started falsely accusing my son’s gf that she and my son had provided Ronny’s details to someone whom’s motor vehicle had been hit. Ronny was making threats and harassing my son’s GF (not knowing that my son was also in the bedroom at this stage). Things started to escalate and my sons gf was feeling very frightened. My son then opens the bedroom door and yells at Ronny that if he doesn’t stop intimidating his GF “I’ll take care of you” (or words to that effect). Ronny then calls the police and my son has had an ADVO placed on him. Ronny has also (in the past 12 months) had an AVO issued against someone he had an altercation with in the surf. My son and his GF chose to move out of the house the following day.
My question is, how is it possible that an ADVO can be issued by the police in a situation where two male flat mates have had a verbal altercation (no physical contact whatsoever occurred). and secondly, what are the chances of it being removed if my son wants to defend it? Thanks you for any advice.
