Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man convicted of assaulting two anti-corruption campaigners after he failed to turn up to be sentenced for that crime and a string of other offences.

Joel James Fullarton, also known as Joel Reditt, was convicted in the Ipswich Magistrates Court in February of a range of offences including assaults while armed in company, possessing weapons and dangerous drugs, and a range of driving offences.

Fullarton failed to show up at his initial sentencing in May and at two subsequent reconvened sentencing hearings, where a further charge of driving while disqualified was added. Police issued a warrant for his arrest on July 25.

“Police have issued an arrest warrant for a 20-year-old man who was due to be sentenced in Ipswich Magistrates Court on July 25 for a range of offences including traffic matters, drugs offences and an Assault Occasioning Bodily Harm armed charge,” a police spokeswoman said.
