man received a community service order on Wednesday for assaulting a Police officer with a television set.

After a trial that lasted several days, 45-year-old Charles Webb was found guilty of doing grievous bodily harm to P.c. Terry Maxwell and violently resisting arrest.

Webb was acquitted of wounding another officer, P.c. Tony Lambert. In Magistrates' Court yesterday, the Wor. John Judge ordered Webb to perform 75 hours of community service. "I have no doubt I won't see you again,'' he said.

At trial, the court heard evidence Police answered a complaint from Mrs. Julie Webb shortly after midnight on August 25 and attended the couple's home in Smith's Parish.

Mrs. Webb, who was described as in a distressed state, invited the officers inside, court was told.

While P.c. Lambert spoke to Mrs. Webb, P.c. Maxwell went to the bedroom to talk to her husband.

Webb got off the bed and tried to push the officer away from the doorway to the bedroom. He then picked up a small TV, raised it above his head, and tried to use it to strike P.c. Maxwell.

The officer held up his right hand to fend off the blow, the court was told.

The TV came down on the officer's hand and caused a fracture.

P.c. Lambert came to assist with Webb's arrest, which he violently resisted, court was told.

The court ordered a social inquiry report and 75 hours of community service was recommended.

Webb, who works as a taxi driver and upholsterer, had no previous convictions.

There was evidence he had been drinking at the time of the offences. He testified he did not feel Police had the right to enter his house. Mrs. Webb testified for the defence. He was represented by Mr. Philip Perinchief.
