A teenager who hurled a chair through a patio window of The Beach bar in Front Street after being thrown out of the premises by bouncers, has been ordered to pay the $650 cost of repairing the window together with a $200 fine.

Daniel Trott, 19, pleaded guilty to causing the damage when he appeared at the Magistrates' court. The court heard that at 12.35 a.m. on September 29, Trott had been ejected from the premises by security men. Two Police officers on Front Street watched as Trott picked up a chair from the outside patio area and threw it at the large window at the front of the bar, causing the window to shatter.

Trott told the cops as they arrested him: "I didn't do anything!"

Once just around the corner at Hamilton Police Station said Trott said he wanted to press charges against the bouncers because, he claimed, they had beaten him up. Senior magistrate Archibald Warner asked Trott, of St. Augustine Road, Pembroke, to explain himself.

Trott, who has no previous convictions, replied: "I was just trying to have a good time. The bouncers followed me around all night, and to me that is harassment. They followed me around all night. I was provoked. This is my first offence in 19 years.

"I didn't want to leave. They beat me up for no reason at all. What have I done? I would have got out, I just wanted to finish a little drink I had and they spilled my drink and it ran from there."

Trott was given until November 4 to pay the fine and compensation.

A motorcycle rider who was injured in a single vehicle road collision on Friday night was subsequently arrested on suspicion of impaired driving.

Police attended the incident, on Middle Road in Devonshire, near the junction with Garthowen Road, at 11.45 p.m.

According to a Police spokesman, it appears that a motorcycle was travelling east when the rider lost control, colliding with the sidewalk. As a result, the motorcycle received front end damage.

The 42-year-old Devonshire man sustained a deep cut to the forehead. He was taken to King Edward Memorial Hospital, treated, and released ? but not before he was arrested.

Hundreds of dollars have been stolen after a break-in at Warwick Community Centre. Police said $900 in cash and cheques was taken from the Middle Road site, overnight on Wednesday.

When Police officers investigated a night-time alarm activation at the Bermuda National Library on Queen Street they found unemployed Robert Bean standing on the balcony and saw him throw an object away, a court was told.

The object turned out to be a home-made pipe which contained traces of the drug cocaine. When Bean, 56, was searched Police found a brown paper wrapper containing a vegetable matter in one of his trouser pockets, which was later analysed and found to be 0.29 grams of cannabis, which has a street value of around $25.

Bean, of Rockland Crescent, Pembroke, pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis and was fined $300 at Magistrates court. He also pleaded guilty to possessing a home-made pipe for use of controlled drugs and was fined a further $200. He must pay the fines by December 2.

A man who tried to avoid justice discovered to his cost that giving a false name to the Police is not the smartest move when that name belongs to someone who is already on the Police wanted list.

An attempted deception backfired for Andre Castle after he was taken to a Police station and quizzed about his suspicious actions earlier that night when he had run away from an approaching Police patrol and tried to hide in the unlit stairwell of a shopping arcade.

Knowing that if he gave his real identity Police would discover there were outstanding warrants against him, 22-year-old Castle decided to give a fake name only to discover that there were outstanding warrants against that name too.

At this point he "fessed up" to the officers about his real identity, Crown counsel Paula Tyndale told the Magistrates' court.

Castle, of North Church Lane, Hamilton Parish, first aroused suspicions around 10.32 p.m. on September 9 when officers were on patrol on Front Street and saw him walking and acting in a suspicious manner.

When Castle started to run away the officers followed him into Walker Arcade. They saw him running to an upper level and carried out a search eventually finding him "hiding" in a dark stairwell, the court heard.

He told the officers that they might as well arrest him as he had nothing to live for anyway. Back at the Police station he first gave a false name and then, having been told that person had outstanding warrants against them, revealed his true identity.

Appearing at court, Castle pleaded guilty to trying to pervert the course of justice by giving a false name to prevent a lawful arrest and was fined $100.

Obnoxious youths caused trouble for staff and customers at the Ice Queen in Paget over the weekend, causing the Police to attend the premises twice. understands from one witness that around 50 young people ? believed to be gang members ? congregated at the takeaway at Rural Hill Plaza around 8 p.m. on Friday.

"They were not buying anything, they were just being rude and obnoxious to everyone and some of them used threatening motions toward the staff," said the source, who asked not to be identified.

A Police spokesman said that officers attended the first incident while on a routine patrol in the area and asked some youths at the Ice Queen to move on. At 3.35 a.m. on Saturday they attended a report of a disturbance at the Ice Queen, but found the area to be quiet when they arrived.
