Bind over for man who was "belligerent" to police

63-year-old Edward Smalley was handed a Binding over Order at Douglas Courthouse earlier this week ordering him to keep the peace. 

 

They attended his home on November 20th in relation to a different matter but Smalley refused to let them leave by blocking their van's path. 

 

The court head he's since sent a letter to the officers involved apologising for his behaviour - a charge of obstructing them was withdrawn.
