“If they can charge me for my mate leaving his tremadol (sic) at my house I’ll be pretty upset hahahah, I just told (lawyer) Blake (Fraser) I’m happy for him to speak if they want to interview him,” he wrote in the text.

Outside of court, Williams’ lawyer Blake Fraser, of Fraser Lawyers, said Williams was “really happy”.

“Obviously it’s quite concerning that there were suggestions he was linked to major organised crime,” he said.

“Today’s result should help prove there are no links.”

Mr Fraser said there were ongoing discussions about getting Williams’ door fixed.

The dropping of the charges comes about a week after Williams went on a podcast with YouTuber turned OnlyFans star Jackson O’Doherty, where Williams claimed a deal had been made that the charges would be dropped on the condition he signed a nondisclosure agreement.
