Arrest History:
Jan 26, 2025 (Adelaide, SA): Police arrested multiple National Socialist Network (NSN) members during an Australia Day march. Davis (identified in reports as Joel Thomas Davis) was later charged with displaying a Nazi symbol (SA’s ban took effect Dec 2024).[3]
Jan 28, 2025: Davis was arrested again outside the Adelaide City Watch House and charged with a second count of displaying a Nazi symbol (police alleged incidents on Jan 26 and Jan 28). He was granted bail that afternoon. [4]
Mar 24, 2025: Court listing noted Davis (29, VIC) failed to appear on the two symbol-display charges; same day reporting detailed the two counts and the Jan 28 arrest outside court.[5]
Apr 9–10, 2025: A magistrate rejected an application by Davis and Thomas Sewell to relax strict non-association bail conditions, saying they were at high risk of re-offending and that “their victims are all of us.”[6]
May 29, 2025: Prosecutors withdrew one of Davis’s charges; reporting the same day also noted a dropped charge against Sewell. (Other charges against Davis remained.)[7]
