Teen cursed at Police officers

A teenager who was tasered by police after threatening to shoot officers after a drunken night out will face sentencing in Magistrates' Court in February.Jahdeko Fubler, 18, of Warwick, pleaded guilty to violently resisting arrest and using threatening words on Saturday, by telling officers: “I will f**king kill you. I will shoot you dead.”Speaking in his own defence yesterday, Fubler apologised to the court and Bermuda Police Service for the incident.He said: “I have no memory of that night so my thing is I was drinking, so whatever I may have said I did not mean it. Basically I was drunk. I am not a troubled kid, I am barely in trouble.”Fubler also said he was working hard as an electric apprentice at Air Care and said he was willing to take part in an alcohol recovery programme.The court heard around 1am officers on patrol on Front Street saw a man acting in an aggressive manner to an unknown man outside The Beach bar.Officers tried to intervene when one of the men, now known as Fubler, said: “Get the f**k away from me. F**k off, this ain't about you.”Fubler walked away soon after, but returned and shouted at officers, saying: “I will f**king kill you.”Officers held him back and managed to handcuff and put him in a police car where he was taken to Hamilton Police Station.He continued acting in a violent nature and police had to use a Taser gun to subdue him.Senior Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney said the teenager had been convicted of almost an identical offence in the same location in July.“Clearly this is a behaviour pattern ever since you were a juvenile you were convicted of taking part in a fight,” said Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner.“Tell me why I shouldn't send you to prison? You go and get drunk over and over again and threaten to shoot the police, which is a real serious matter.”Fubler spent the weekend in police custody and said: “Those two or three days in jail I learnt my lesson. I had the time to realise what I did and analyse whatever was wrong.”The magistrate ordered pre-sentencing reports for the teenager and told him to abide by a 9pm to 6am curfew.He released Fubler on $2,000 bail and told him to appear for sentencing on February 2.
