An Arthog man has been handed a 90 day alcohol ban by magistrates as part of a community order imposed for assaulting and resisting a police officer.

Robert Jones, of Tyddyn Sieffre, appeared for sentencing before Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court on 4 August.

The 60-year-old had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing before Caernarfon magistrates on 17 July to assaulting a police constable in Arthog on 2 July this year.

Jones also admitted a separate charge of resisting a police officer.

Magistrates handed Jones a 12 month community order to include 90 days of alcohol abstinence and monitoring.

He was also ordered to pay £60 compensation to the police officer.

Jones must also pay prosecution costs of £85.
