P.c. Anthony Dexter Thomas denied that he assaulted his former girlfriend, who is also a Police officer, at her residence on May 18.

Thomas, 36, of the Police barracks, Prospect, appeared before Magistrate Archibald Warner yesterday and told the court his version of the events that unfolded that evening.

The trial started on Tuesday.

Thomas is accused of assaulting his former girlfriend, P.c. Cammie Michelle Berkeley, and causing her bodily harm. He faces the same charges regarding P.c. Berkeley's friend Linda Gail Mienzer.

In cross examination by Crown counsel Shade Subair, Thomas admitted that when he entered P.c. Berkeley's residence he found an "unknown male" with her in the bedroom. When repeatedly asked if this upset him Thomas told the court he was not angry, enraged or livid about finding another male in his girlfriend's bedroom.

After the unknown male left, Thomas said that P.c. Berkeley began to rant and rave. He said she became uncontrollable and wanted to continue the argument in the bathroom so as not to disturb her children.

During their argument Thomas said P.c. Berkeley made some personal phone calls and shortly after one of these calls Ms Mienzer showed up and demanded to see P.c. Berkeley.

Ms Mienzer pushed her way into the bathroom and found P.c. Berkeley crouched down by the bathtub with Thomas standing above her.

Ms Mienzer jumped on Thomas and P.c. Berkeley ran out of the bathroom.

Thomas said he wrestled Ms Mienzer off him but did not kick her. Ms Mienzer called the Police, who came to the house but did not arrest Thomas.

Thomas is charged with hitting, kicking and punching P.c. Berkeley although he maintains he only restrained her because she was out of control and hitting him.

The prosecution provided pictures of bruises P.c. Berkeley allegedly sustained from the assault.

They also had Ms Mienzer's physician testify that she sustained bruising from a kick.

On Tuesday, P.c. Berkeley said she had filled the complaint but tried to withdraw it later.

When asked about the evening, she said: "I can't remember the specifics."

Thomas, represented by Allen Doughty, argued that there was no evidence of assault because no one saw Thomas hit her and P.c. Berkeley did not say she was assaulted.

Both sides have called all their witnesses and are in their final arguments. The trial resumes at 9 a.m. today.
