tristan weirA 27-year-old man appeared in Magistrates Court this morning [Mar.28] in connection with an incident last week which saw a Police officer hospitalised with a head injury.

Tristan Weir faced charges this morning including assaulting the Police and Resisting Arrest.

After the incident a Police spokesman said, “Around 3:30am on Thursday, March 24th 2011 Police were on mobile patrol along Court Street in Pembroke when they encountered a motorcycle at the junction with Dundonald Street.”

“The officers attempted to stop the motorcycle to speak with the rider; however despite the use of the Police vehicle’s emergency equipment the motorcyclist failed to stop. A brief vehicle and foot pursuit took place before the motorcycle rider was intercepted outside a Middletown Lane residence.”

“At that location the suspect apparently pushed one of the officers causing him to fall before fleeing the scene. The officer sustained a potentially serious head injury as a result and was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment where doctors continue to assess his injury. A 27 year old Pembroke man was subsequently arrested in connection with this incident. ”

    • Lorin Johnson says:

      • LOL (original) says:

        Just one thing we are an Overseas Territory not a colony. The difference is the form of self Government we have.

    Looks like our society has slipped so far down the toilet that all is left is to flush and clean the bowl. Those of us that feel we can make a change need to stop TALKING about it.

  5. Bermudian says:

    Sending him back or banning BET don’t fix our problems with gangs and guns. Bermuda’s problems are Igorant people, neglectful parents and corrupt political authority. He should be given a chance to finish his contract if and given the pending out come.

  6. percival says:

    sounds like u have something against BET….they dont have to watch BET just to mimmick and mock that behaviour…the internet and social media networks are there and these also aid in the advancement of crime

  7. scumbag says:

    What about Chesterfield Johnson in court today for assaulting a police officer. Isn’t he a convicted killer.

  8. SOMERSET OG says:

    Something must be in the air! Black people are off their rockers. It can’t all be blamed on a hard life when you have the likes of Barbara Tannock allegedly stealing money while holding a good paying, hard to get job.

  9. The mon says:

    Send him bac Uncle Sam Cause him DaDA an a Ramp!
