Sergeant Mark Andrews was jailed last week for an unprovoked attack on a 59-year-old lady. He was sent down for six months after he had been found guilty of actual bodily harm.
Now another man has come forward to claim that he, too, was assaulted by Andrews.
What I find surprising is that Andrews was not immediately sacked on conviction. Further two of his colleagues lied on oath when giving evidence for him. They were PC Mark McIntyre and Acting Sergeant Kate Smith. They alleged that the 59-year-old lady had been violent but Deputy District Judge Peter Greenfield said on sentencing Andrews, "You called two officers whose evidence I didn’t accept... I was so concerned about the evidence these officers gave me, I asked my comments to be brought to the attention of the Chief Officer of Wiltshire."
A police spokesman said, "Two officers will be receiving words of advice from a senior officer on how to present their evidence."
"Words of advice"? Isn't that more often called attempting to pervert the course of justice?
