three months this week.

Paco Telieph Fubler pleaded with Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis to give him another chance. But Mr. Francis said that Fubler needed a "short, sharp shock'' and sent him to prison.

Fubler had been ordered to carry out 100 hours of community service after being convicted of indecently assaulting a young woman.

He told the court he had not done any of the work because he had been moving from place to place. But Probation Services recommended, at an earlier hearing, that community service was no longer suitable.

Mr. Francis said: "The indecent assault was a very serious offence and looking at your whole record, I believe you should be given a short, sharp shock.'' CANADIAN CAUGHT DRUNK DRIVING CTS Canadian caught drunk driving Canadian Pierre Valiquette found his holiday money cut by $400 when he was fined in court after admitting driving while impaired by alcohol.

The 23-year-old Montreal resident was spotted by Police riding a livery cycle on Marsh Folly Road early on Monday morning.

Prosecutor Sgt. Kenrick James said: "Officers noticed he was driving erratically, swerving from side to side and nearly colliding with the nearside kerb.'' He admitted he had been drinking and Police said his breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were glazed.

Senior Magistrate, the Wor. Will Francis said: "In Bermuda, and I believe it's the same in Canada, you were approaching twice the legal limit.'' Mr. Francis fined him $400 and banned him for 12 months.

Bermuda resident Augustine Furtado also admitted driving his car on Middle Road and Tee Street while impaired by alcohol. The 34-year-old butcher, of Verdmont Road, Smith's, was stopped by Police and his blood/alcohol reading found to be nearly two and a half times the legal limit. He was fined $450 and disqualified for a year.

MAN ATTACKED POLICE WITH VASE CTS Man attacked police with vase A homeless man who stole a vase and then tried to hit Police with it was sent to prison for a month yesterday.

Sinclair Leroy Russell, who stays at the Salvation Army shelter, pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to stealing the vase from the Music Box.

Prosecutor Sgt. Earl Kirby said Police saw Russell, 32, walking on Reid Street near the Music Box with the vase. They noted it was not in a bag and still had the price tag on it.

They approached him, but he ran away, Sgt. Kirby said. And when the officers caught up with him, he tried to throw the vase at them.

Sgt. Kirby said Russell had previous convictions for stealing and had stolen from the Music Box before.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis, noting he had sentenced him to 15 days the last time, handed down a 30-day prison term.

STOLE SCOTCH FROM NIGHTCLUB CTS Stole scotch from nightclub Stealing five bottles of Scotch whisky from a nightclub landed a 33-year-old Pembroke man in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Howard Dwayne Burgess pleaded guilty to stealing the Scotch on the afternoon of March 20.

Prosecutor Sgt. Earl Kirby said Burgess had been downstairs at the Spinning Wheel on Court Street at the time. He went upstairs to the bar, and finding it closed helped himself to five bottles of Scotch.

He alerted club management when he dropped one of the bottles while walking down the stairs.

Burgess apologised for the offence, telling the court he had been drunk at the time.

Sgt. Kirby said it was not the first time Burgess had stolen.

After noting he had an "extensive career of going in and out of prison'', Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis handed down a four-month prison sentence and suspended it for 18 months. He also fined him $28 to go towards compensating the Spinning Wheel for the lost bottle of Scotch.
