Tim Eversley being escorted to court
Sixty-five-year-old Tim Eversley confessed to wounding his landlord, Keith Lynch, following an argument over rent payment.
Eversley reportedly used a sharp object to inflict a 2.3cm laceration to the complainant’s nose bridge during a physical altercation.
According to reports, Lynch had expressed his discomfort of the defendant occupying the bottom flat of his home. The man told the court that Eversley habitually threatens to kill him and torch his property. He explained that the defendant had stopped paying the rent after his spouse died and would behave in a disorderly manner whenever asked about rent payment.
The Magistrate advised Lynch that necessary legal action can be taken so as to rid him of the tenant. She took into consideration that Eversley is of age to be knowledgeable of the consequences of his actions and ordered him to pay a fine of $30,000 or alternatively spend 14 days in solitary confinement.
