Dhami’s lawyer said last week that his client is not guilty and had planned to turn himself in.

B.C. court records show Dhami has a detailed criminal past that includes assault with a weapon and traffic violations.

He was convicted for assault with a weapon in 2011. He also has traffic violations dating to between 2012 and 2014.
