Dalton Wade Wilson: Geraldton man denied bail after allegedly assaulting and choking impaired sister

A 24-year-old man has been denied bail after allegedly assaulting and choking his sister, who has a disability. Dalton Wade Wilson was charged with unlawful assault causing bodily harm and impeding another person’s breathing after an alleged altercation on February 1. Mr Wilson allegedly lured his sister to their home by messaging her that he had something to show her and began arguing with her when she arrived. He then allegedly struck her multiple times, including once on the jaw. Mr Wilson also allegedly choked his sister, who is impaired, according to the prosecution. During the incident Mr Wilson allegedly said “I’ll f...ing kill you,” multiple times during the incident and that he would kill himself as well. The alleged victim showed signs of a recent concussion after receiving treatment following the incident. Police prosecutor Sergeant Ross Gray spoke against granting bail due to the severity of the changes, the strength of the case, and concerns for the victim’s safety and the welfare of Mr Wilson. Mr Wilson has no criminal record but the prosecution claims he said in an interview he had choked his sister before. Mr Wilson’s defence argued he should be granted bail so he could continue working, receive treatment in the community for his depression and care for his dogs. Mr Wilson claimed his sister had drawn a knife on him and he feared for his life but did not intend to kill her. Magistrate Angus Hockton denied bail for Mr Wilson, who will reappear in court on March 9. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732)
