Ex WA cop under more charges
A former Western Australian cop turned champion powerlifter accused of plotting to cut off a man’s hands and tongue is facing additional charges of drug and weapon possession.
Bradley Leslie Humble (above) appeared in Bunbury Magistrate’s Court on Thursday morning on seven new charges — two counts of unlawfully possessing a controlled or prescription drug, two counts of unlawfully possessing a prohibited weapon and three counts of possessing a prohibited drug.
While the 41-year-old did not physically appear in the courtroom due to being on house arrest for his other ongoing charges, his lawyer indicated to the court Mr Humble had provided endorsed pleas of not guilty to all offences.
While no details of the charges were read to the court, it is understood the charges took place five days after the alleged 2022 torture scheme.
No details were given on whether the two matters were related.
Mr Humble is set to reappear in court on January 16 for a mention-only hearing, to line up with his next appearance for the other charges.
