Miner Dean told his then fiancée, a former Miss Australia winner, not to wait for him when he was sent to jail for drug trafficking. Thankfully, she ignored him.
Miner Dean O’Donnell, 44, spent eight years in jail for drug-trafficking after a raid on his home in Hervey Bay. When he was released in February, his ex-fiancée, Miss Australia winner and counsellor Felicia Djamirze, 36, was waiting.
I never expected to be raided; I was naive. The police launched a couple of hand grenades through our bedroom window as we slept. One of them blew up in Felicia’s face. I try not to think about it; I don’t want to carry any anger. The first day I was allowed to see her after I was released, I was so joyous. We met in a hotel foyer in Brisbane. It was supposed to be somewhere quiet, but Blink182 was staying there and the moment we saw each other, the band walked through the foyer and all these groupies started screaming. She looked as stunning as the first day I saw her, the most glamorous woman I’d ever seen. She looked at me like I wasn’t real.
I don’t blame Dean for what happened; I knew the risks. Nobody could have anticipated that the police would use military-grade hand grenades. I sued them afterwards and we settled out of court.
