NORTH Melbourne footballer Trent Dumont has appeared in court, over an alleged taxi robbery, a day earlier than scheduled. Dumont, 19, was due to face the Holden Hill Magistrates Court today on one aggravated count of robbery. Police have alleged he and another man threatened a taxi driver, demanding money, during an incident at North Tce on October 12. It is alleged that, when the driver refused their demands, one of the men stole a log book and got out of the taxi. The driver was allegedly assaulted when he tried to get his book back, and it is further alleged the duo stole money from the taxi. Dumont - who has yet to play a senior game for the Kangaroos - was bailed to face court today. However, court registry records show Dumont's matter was called on by his lawyers yesterday for a brief hearing. He was remanded on continuing bail to face court again in February.
