Police did not find enough evidence to charge him.
Ryder was charged with hindering Rolfe in executing his duties as a police officer and unlawfully assaulting Rolfe after an incident at Ryder’s house in Alice Springs. The documents also reveal that four officers who were involved in the Ryder arrest but were not under investigation declined to provide further statutory declarations to the detective investigating Rolfe for possible perjury, after the officers sought advice from the Northern Territory police association.
The newly released documents show that in 2019, officers investigating the matter sent files to another police department seeking advice on the prospects of a perjury prosecution. Bryson continued that it appeared “undue reliance” was being placed on the judge’s comments, when there was no evidence before him that Rolfe or another officer lied or fabricated evidence.
“The resources of this office and that of the DPP to provide considered opinions are finite and should not be wasted reviewing material that clearly is short of the benchmark.”
