BrendanHollohanwas arrested in a sweep of the bikers in the fall of2016. But when three of the men arrived in Supreme Courton Mondayforarraignment,Hollohanwas not one of them.

His charges were dismissedon Thursday, with his lawyer, Randy Pearcy, saying the Crown had no case against him.

Had given up medical licence

After his arrest, Hollohan voluntarily gave up his medical licence.

Then, in the spring of 2017, he asked the provincial college of physicians and surgeons to review his case.

After an investigation, the college reinstated Hollohan on the condition he refrain from prescribing oxycodone and other narcotics.

In November 2017, Hollohan accepted a position at the Long Pond Medical Clinic in Conception Bay South. At the time, the clinic's managing doctor, Thomas Brien, said he was sure of Hollohan's innocence and had no problems giving him a place to practice.

The college previously said it would review Hollohan's file again when his court case had closed.
