His driving licence was suspended for five years after he struck and killed his wife, Melissa Hoskins, with a car in December 2023, although he was not held criminally responsible for her death. Dennis had previously received a 17-month suspended sentence for an aggravated act likely to cause harm and was subject to a two-year good behaviour bond, with a warning that violating his driving ban would lead to jail time. Police reported Dennis for driving while disqualified on 11 June, with two children as passengers, leading to his car being impounded and the current court appearance. The incident follows public criticism earlier this year after Dennis posted a picture of a Porsche on social media, which was deemed "deeply offensive" by South Australia’s commissioner for victims’ rights due to its perceived lack of respect for his late wife.
