of using offensive words and littering.

Harron Lee Evans, 23, of Happy Valley Road denied the offences which the court heard took place in Pembroke on November 5 last year.

Crown counsel Charmaine Smith presented three witnesses, all of whom testified that Evans swore and littered around 4.15 p.m. on Queen Street.

Traffic warden Donna Roberts told the court she was on duty when she came across a motorcycle parked illegally on the sidewalk outside of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

She added that as she placed a parking ticket on the handlebars, Evans came out of the restaurant, crumpled the ticket and threw it on the ground.

Ms Roberts also testified that Evans moved the bike into a nearby loading zone and then against the sidewalk he swore at her.

Ms Roberts said she then radioed for Police back-up and when the officers arrived she claimed she overheard Evans admitting he threw the parking ticket on the ground and he swore again.

After a brief struggle with the three officers, Evans was arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station.

After hearing all of the evidence offered, Magistrate Edward King fined Evans $250 for each offence.

NEXT WRONG TURN COULD LEAD TO JAIL CTS Next wrong turn could lead to jail A Sandys man with a string of driving convictions was warned that he faced a possible prison sentence if caught behind the wheel again.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis told Andre Dennis Trott, of Wefo Road, that he must resist the temptation to ride any mopeds after the court heard that he had been caught driving while disqualified three times.

Mr. Francis said: "You have a bad record for a young man. If you are caught riding any kind of motor cycle you can go to prison for at least six months, maybe nine months.'' Trott, 19, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, fraudulent use of a licence, having no driving licence, no insurance and having an unlicensed cycle.

He was fined a total of $1,900 for the offences, was banned from driving for 18 months and was given a three-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months for driving while disqualified.

Prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said that Trott had also previously been convicted on two counts of driving while disqualified, having no driving licence, having no vehicle licence, fraudulent use of documents and no insurance.

In his defence, Trott, who was represented in court by Peter Farge, said the traffic tickets could have been avoided by staying off the road. He said he was sorry for wasting the court's time.

In addition the court heard that Trott had outstanding fines of $300, $650 and $1,250 from previous offences. He was ordered to pay those or face up to 100 days in prison.

The court also heard that Trott faced a charge of stealing or unlawfully receiving, knowing it was stolen, a Yamaha motorcycle. He pleaded not guilty and will face trial in the Magistrates' Court on July 16.
