Dolloff was contracted through the company Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to contract private security to accompany staff at protests.
During Friday’s hearing, Dolloff’s Attorney Doug Richards alleged that Keltner had told the unlicensed security guard, “I’m going to [expletive] you up” and struck him in the face with his left hand while he was wearing “large rings on his hand that were commonly used as brass knuckles.”
Richards also claimed that Keltner had been seen in photographs with a member of the motorcycle gang the Sons of Silence minutes before the shooting, and was carrying a gun in a shoulder holster.
