Overview
- Magistrate Donna Bakos issued the warrant on Tuesday after Brendon Berry failed to attend a scheduled hearing.
- Court documents allege Berry sent a late‑June letter demanding $100,000 in a manner a reasonable person would regard as menacing.
- The court was told Berry also missed hearings on October 3 and 14 and did not meet bail reporting requirements at Richmond police station.
- Attempts to contact the 53‑year‑old by mail were unsuccessful, and the letter’s contents have not been disclosed in court.
- Beveridge received extra protection in Round 17, and the AFL integrity unit has increased coach security following separate threats to Michael Voss and Simon Goodwin.
