Edward Michael Lewin, aged 40, of The Lhargan, Glen Maye, has been convicted after a trial of assault causing actual bodily harm.

He had denied the assault which was committed on a police officer on November 19 last year.

He also pleaded guilty to a charge of resisting arrest.

Lewin appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes on Tuesday.

The case was adjourned for eight weeks until October 28 while a psychiatric and probation report are prepared.

The court heard that Lewin has also denied other offences of threatening behaviour and threats to destroy property and a pre-trial review is scheduled for October 8.

Bail continues with conditions to reside at his home address, contact probation, and not leave the island without court permission.
