Watch: Former Adelaide Councillor charged with stalking flees courthouse in dramatic chase scene

Robert De Jonge news

Former local councillor Robert De Jonge was involved in a chaotic scene outside Christies Beach Magistrates Court in Adelaide, following allegations of stalking.

De Jonge, previously a member of the City of Onkaparinga, faces six charges of aggravated stalking, including accusations of using a tracking device and leaving notes on a woman’s car.

During his court appearance on Tuesday De Jonge was pursued outside the courthouse, marking the second time in recent months he has been involved in a public chase, following a previous incident with a TV journalist.

When asked by a news reporter if he would contest the charges, De Jonge confidently responded, “Of course. I haven’t done anything wrong.”

The tense exchange outside the court continued as De Jonge engaged with a man in a black singlet in a bizarre foot chase through the carpark.

    Maybe the Beehive should introduce seminars for sprinting and hiding. and add sneakers to the dress code.
    And for returning politicians, a special lane at ‘Arrivals’ marked ‘Gauntlet’.
