THE man who allegedly bashed nightclub patron Jason Lindsley has been refused bail in the Adelaide Magistrates Court.

Ali Joubouri, 21, allegedly punched Mr Lindsley in August last year at Zhivago nightclub.

Mr Lindsey sustained serious head injuries and was in an induced coma for two weeks.

Joubouri is charged with one count of causing serious harm to another.

Today Joubouri had his application for home detention bail refused by Magistrate Simon Smart.

Magistrate Smart said he considered the risk of Joubouri reoffending and the serious nature of the offence.

Outside of court Jason's father, Doug Lindsley, said Jason was doing well with his rehabilitation and he was proud of him.

Nightclub bust leads to drug haul

THE arrest of a man detained by security at a city nightclub for allegedly possessing illicit drugs has led to a bigger bust at Brooklyn Park.

About 9.30pm, last night police patrols were called to a city nightclub after a security officer reported finding a man in possession of what was suspected to be 12 ecstasy tablets.

A 24-year-old man from the western suburbs was arrested and charged with being in possession of a controlled drug.

Police then searched a Brooklyn Park home with a police drug dog, allegedly finding a further 52 ecstasy tablets and more than $6000 in cash.

A 22 year-old from Brooklyn Park was arrested and charged with trafficking and possession of a controlled drug, and unlawful possession of the money.

Both men have been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.

Meanwhile, in an apparently unrelated case, an 18-year-old man was arrested after police allegedly found 75 ecstasy tablets at his Port Lincoln home yesterday.

About midday, police allegedly found the tablets, packaged in plastic resealable bags.

The man was arrested and charged with trafficking a controlled drug.

He was bailed to appear in the Port Lincoln Magistrates Court on 26 March.
