Olympian in court

IN a triple-0 call to police, the brother of Olympic shooter Michael Diamond said he was threatened by the alcohol-affected gold medallist before he drove away with a gun in his car.

Diamond yesterday pleaded not guilty in Raymond Terrace Local Court to four charges relating to driving under the influence and gun and ammunition storage in May 2016. He blew three times over the limit after being found near his car, which he denies ever driving, police say. In the back of the car, police say they found a shotgun in an unlocked case and about 110 loose shotgun shells “rolling around”.
