City police charged for assaulting litter bug

Mar 26, 2013 News

 

Dexter Ross, a 28-year-old city policeman of 81 Howes and St. Stephens Street, Georgetown, was yesterday charged for the unlawful assaulting against Hu Yu Nan. He pleaded not guilty.
Presiding over the matter was Magistrate Alan Wilson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court.
Attorney at law Paul Fung -A -Fat who stood in defense of Ross, stated that “the Chinese man was caught throwing refuse and my client approached him. He fought with my client and Ross defended himself against the kung fu moves.”
Fung- A- Fat asked for reasonable bail “due to the fact that police only work for $40,000 per month and after they take out for their children and children’s mothers they barely got anything lef back.”
Prosecutor Bentham had no objection to bail.
Police reports revealed that while some ranks were on a mobile patrol on March 23,  the vehicle stopped and Ross approached the complainant at his store on Wellington and Charlotte Streets whilst he was on a ladder.
The defendant told Hu about his littering which occurred one week ago, an allegation he denied. The defendant then drew his handcuff and dealt the victim several lashes about his body which resulted in numerous injuries.
The matter was adjourned until May 6 and the defendant was placed on $5000 bail.
