A 35-year-old Peel man has appeared in court admitting resisting arrest.

Alistair James Caley, of Tynwald Road, has also previously pleaded guilty to provoking behaviour.

The offences were committed on March 4 and 5.

Other charges, of assaulting a police officer, damaging property, and making threats to damage property were dismissed after the prosecution offered no evidence.

Caley was represented in court by advocate Peter Taylor, who asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing.

The case has been adjourned until August 28.

Bail has been granted in the sum of £500, with conditions for the defendant not to contact witnesses, not to leave the island, and to contact probation and co-operate in the preparation of the report.
