Drunk in charge of a bicycle and obstructing Police
A DRUNKEN cyclist who rode along the A19 in dark clothing late at night
has been sentenced by York magistrates. Christopher Bernard Power, 46, “was wobbling about the road unable to keep a straight line” and a Vauxhall Corsa had to brake when the cyclist swerved into his path in Escrick, PC Michael Rowan told the court. Giving evidence at Power’s trial, he said when he and another officer managed to stop Power after several attempts, “I had to go up to him to stop him falling over". Power claimed he was called “Pavel” and was so abusive and struggled so much it took four officers to get him into a police van. He screamed and continued to be violent at Fulford Road Police Station, the court heard. Power, of Chestnut Drive, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, east of Selby, did not attend his trial and was convicted in his absence of being drunk in charge of a bicycle and obstructing police. He smelt of alcohol and had glazed eyes. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/1627...about__on_A19/ |
