3rd- I crewed up with PCSO Rich Green, to patrol Oakridge. I arrested a very drunk and abusive male in Shooters Way. The male made several threats towards Rich and I. The male was interviewed when he sobered up! The male was charged with several offences.
4th- Whilst patrolling Glebe Gardens, I located a female with cannabis. After a struggle to seize the cannabis, the female slapped, and kicked, me! I arrested the female on suspicion of possession of cannabis and for assaulting me. The female went on to damage a police cell. The female was charged with all three offences. *Update* whilst patrolling in the town centre, the female approached me and apologised. This doesn’t always happen. I was grateful for her remorse.

6th- I arrested a male in Lower Brook Street on suspicion of failing to appear at court.. and for possession of drugs and for theft of a baby photo, from a grave, in Worting Rd. The male was remanded, in prison, whilst he awaits his trial. The drugs were Amphetamin *Update* The male has been released but issued with a ‘Community Behaviour Order* I hope he can comply with the conditions!
Please call 101 if you know who owns the photo.
11th- I located two males with cannabis in Glebe Gardens. The incidents were unrelated. Both males received cannabis warnings. It still suprises me how many people use drugs in this area. I will keep patrolling, and deal with offences robustly.
12th- I arrested a male, in Church Street, on suspicion of theft from the Iceland Store. I had recognised the male from CCTV. The male was shouting, and swearing, and making threats to kill police. The male also spat on my leg. Obviously I was not amused. After a scuffle on the floor, the male was further arrested for public order offences, and assault police. The male was very drunk so he won’t be interviewed until the morning. *Update* The male was charged with all three offences. The male was remanded and he will attend court in due course. I hope he has a good excuse for his behaviour! *Update* The male was sentenced to 28 days in prison.
Later, I issued a male with a cannabis caution, in the Kebab shop, in Church Street.
Even later, I was patrolling Eastrop Park with PCSO Dan Tompkins. I located a male with cannabis.
