A MAN has appeared in court charged with assaulting a detention officer at a Bradford police station and a driving offence.
Oliver Kenny, 32, of Lime Tree Square, Saltaire, Shipley, faced two charges.
He was handed a community order for both offences with the requirements including carrying out 200 hours unpaid work in the community over the next 12 months.
In the first offence, assault by beating of an emergency worker, he assaulted a detention officer during the execution of their duty at Trafalgar House police station, in Nelson Street, Bradford, on April 3, 2022.
He was ordered to pay £100 compensation and a £985 victim surcharge.
The second offence was failing to provide a specimen for analysis – vehicle driver.
At the junction of Hirst Wood Crescent and Hirst Wood Road, Shipley, when suspected of having attempted to drive a vehicle and having been required to provide a specimen of blood for a laboratory test, Kenny failed to do so without reasonable excuse, on April 3, 2022.
Kenny was disqualified from holding, or obtaining, a driving licence for 35 months.
He pleaded guilty to both and was sentenced at Bradford & Keighley Magistrates’ Court on July 13, 2022.
