Comedian Mike Bullard got a reprieve from some of his legal woes Friday when two charges against him were dropped.

The former TV and radio talk show host no longer faces charges of obstructing justice and criminal harassment.

Bullard’s brush with the criminal justice system stems from criminal harassment charges laid in the fall of 2016 relating to ex-girlfriend Cynthia Mulligan, a CityNews reporter. He was also previously charged with breaching previous bail conditions.

Bullard had been ordered not to have any contact with Mulligan, his previous surety and witnesses involved in the case.

“It was very rare and I was quite surprised,” said Bullard’s lawyer Calvin Barry when the two charges against his client were dropped. “Those were the two, by far, the most serious charges.”

A judge dismissed the charges Friday morning in a courtroom in the College Park Courthouse in downtown Toronto.

Bullard still faces charges in connection with repeated phone calls he made and for failing to comply with bail conditions and attempting to obstruct justice.

He is scheduled to appear in court June 21.

Barry said he feels confident there is no reasonable prospect of conviction on the remaining charges.

“We’re very close to resolving things,” Barry said. “It’s not in the public interest to go ahead.”

Barry said Bullard has had no contact with Mulligan since Oct. 2016, and that Bullard would gladly agree to a peace bond so both parties can move on,” Barry said. “This should properly resolve itself.”
