He was expected to front court again on other charges on Monday as The Star went to press.

Dent is of Caucasian appearance with a tanned complexion, 180-185 centimetres tall, weighing 80-90 kilograms with a medium build, light brown hair or possibly a shaved head, blue-grey eyes and tattoos on his left arm.
