DALTON CHARGES DROPPED

POLICE said on Wednesday afternoon that the complaint of assault laid against Springbok rugby player James Dalton has been withdrawn. The charge was laid at Johannesburg’s Bedfordview police station following a fracas at the local Health & Racquet Club, reportedly involving Dalton and H&RC employee Bruce Johnson, who suffered a number of facial injuries, including a lost tooth, a cut to his lip and damage to an eye and cheek.
