assaulted a Police officer and violently resisted arrest.

Kimani Fubler, free on $1,000 bail, will be tried on June 15 on the circumstances around an incident inside a Hamilton club.

Fubler, 23, of Shelton Road, Pembroke, also denies assaulting Georgette Liburd and Valerie Hunt, and causing grievous bodily harm to Jenanne Liburd.

Fubler is represented by lawyer Phil Perinchief.

The Royal Gazette reported an eyewitness account of a beating outside Hamilton Police Station around 4 a.m. on January 1, shortly after Fubler was arrested on the assaults.

The eyewitness claims that ten officers -- including women -- beat and stomped Fubler.

Police Commissioner Jean-Jaques Lemay has initiated a criminal investigation into the alleged beating which does not preclude an internal disciplinary investigation.

The inquiry is continuing, Police said yesterday.

NO BAIL FOR ACCUSED CTS No bail for accused A man facing serious drug charges returned to prison yesterday after he claimed he could not find a valid passport.

Derrick Jomell Hewey, who is charged with importing, possessing and handling with intent to supply more than half a million dollars worth of cocaine on February 6, had been granted $25,000 bail with a surety. But he was ordered to surrender all travel documents.

However, when the 28-year-old father from Crown Hill Lane, Devonshire appeared before Senior Magistrate Will Francis for mention yesterday, he had not surrendered a temporary passport which was issued to him less than a year ago.

Hewey told the court he lost the passport in the US and had to travel back to Bermuda on his birth certificate.

But Mr. Francis was not satisfied all the documents had been surrendered and so had the case scheduled to be mentioned again on March 9.

BOATER FINED $100 CTS Boater fined $100 A 48-year-old man yesterday learned how costly it was to go to sea without effective radio equipment.

Gregory Francis, of Woodlands Road, Pembroke pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to the charge of failing to carry an effective VHF radio when his boat broke down off Dockyard on December 4 last year.

Francis told the court his radio was being repaired but that he had not been in any great distress as he had his cellular phone with him which he used to alert Marine Police.

When Police arrived and towed the boat to safety, they checked the vessel and found the VHF radio was missing.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis fined Gregory Francis $100.

BOAT SPEEDER FINED CTS Boat speeder fined A 63-year-old man was yesterday fined $150 in Magistrates' Court for speeding in a boat within 100 metres of the foreshore.

Police stopped Durham Chalmers Stephens at 11 a.m. on December 2 last year for travelling at a speed in excess of 15 knots in an area governed by speed restrictions.

Stephens, of Seabright Avenue, Pembroke, pleaded guilty to the charge saying he had not realised he was travelling so fast in his beige 20-foot Tiara.
