No bail for new dad after CS spray case

NEW dad Samuel Bishop, 19, will spend the next three-and-a-half weeks away from his partner and days-old baby daughter.

And their separation might last a lot longer after police had to use CS spray on Bishop and on his father, Christopher, 40, during an incident at the Weighbridge taxi rank early on Sunday.

Bishop junior, of Flat 2, 45, Longstore, admitted disorderly behaviour and assaulting and resisting police. Bishop senior, of Trafford House, Les Croutes, St Peter Port, admitted disorderly behaviour and obstructing police.

Advocate Paul Lockwood said that the younger accused had become a father in the last two weeks and wanted to spend time with his partner and baby daughter before the almost inevitable term of youth detention, but the bail application was refused and the accused, who had a bad record, was remanded in custody until sentencing on 11 September.

He got what he deserved....

Trouble at the Taxi Rank, If the Bus had been running maybe it would relieve the tensions on the rank in the early hours ;-)

I doubt it, shame he didn't think of spending time with his newborn instead of being a cock !!

I agree that he got what he deserved. Whether Taxis or Busses are running cannot excuse what happened. Everyone knows that come kickout time, the queue for the Taxi rank starts trying to go up the Avenue.

Like Steve says, if family was that important to him considering the baby being only a couple of weeks old, he should have thought about that rather than fuelling this islands long list of weekend troublemakers.

To be honest I dont even know what happened, All I do know is there are more people trying to get home and not enough Taxis to do the job, I have been told that there seems to be more agro at the ranks in the fast month since the bus stopped so assumed it might have been a contributing factor.

I also know that people who are usually sensible are deciding t drive home drunk as they get fed up of waiting, problem is if they do it once and get away with it, they will do it every week until they get caught or have an accident, which is a great leap backwards.

The taxi problem is not just late nights but trying to get a Taxi for the early flights for visitors returning home seems to be getting harder, last week we had to take people to the airport as no taxis were available.

If people want to go around causing trouble they must take the consequences of their actions. As for the bus i can't see the logic in the post the bus was only of use to very few who happened to live on the route. If they do want to bring back the bus let the bloke get a bus that is in better condition .

First of all I dont really care one way or the other as It does not affect me, but I have been told by sever young people who used to use the but every week that they miss it, I have also been told by police officers that it used to help clear a bulk of people 50+ at a time and that was useful

I have also been told by 2 people that they know of others driving while drunk that used to get the bus.

As far as I am aware the bus was taken off the route for several reasons but NON that were safety issues so the condition of the bus was not the problem.
