Former Home and Away actor Felix Dean jailed for assault in Sydney
Former Home and Away actor Felix Dean was jailed for 12 months over an assault at a Sydney shop.
The case involved a worker at a tobacconist in Potts Point, where Dean allegedly took two protein shakes without paying.
The worker said Dean punched him twice after being challenged.
Dean denied touching the worker and argued that there was no footage of an assault.
Judge John Sfinas called Dean's conduct egregious and ordered that he serve at least seven months before becoming eligible for parole.

His sentence was backdated to his arrest, and he was due to be released on February 16.
Dean played VJ Patterson on Home and Away as a child and has also had previous drug-related trouble with the law.
