The incident, which occurred at a community event, saw Ms. Deeming allege that Mr. Guy placed her in a form of headlock. However, following their inquiry, Victoria Police stated that 'no offence was detected.' This means no charges will be laid, and the matter is considered closed from a police perspective. The investigation's outcome is significant as it addresses a public allegation of assault between prominent political figures within Victoria. While Ms. Deeming reportedly misunderstood the meaning of 'headlock' in her allegation, she has not apologized to Matthew Guy for the accusation. The police's decision to not detect an offence brings a definitive end to the formal investigation into the matter.
