A MAN was ordered to compensate a police superintendent he injured while resisting arrest earlier this month.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Samuel Morgan, 44, on charges of causing harm, causing damage, and resisting arrest.
Prosecutors said Morgan injured Superintendent B Dixon while resisting arrest on February 1. During the incident, he damaged the officer’s Samsung watch.
Morgan pleaded guilty to all charges and expressed remorse for his actions.
Magistrate Serville granted him a conditional discharge, ordering him to pay $780 in compensation. He was also required to maintain good behaviour for three months or face a $1,500 fine.
Failure to comply with these conditions would result in a one-month prison term.
Levan Johnson represented the accused, while Inspector Cordero Farrington served as the prosecutor.
