Attack on builders - judge rej

A MAN attacked builders working in the shop under his flat after he warned them they were being too noisy.

William Walsh, 42, head-butted one of the workers and tried to assault two others in Cheltenham High Street, Gloucester Crown Court heard.

Walsh ended up with injuries himself after the workmen overpowered him with the help of a passing special constable, the court heard.

Having been found guilty by magistrates of assaulting Ebn Mars and common assault on two other men, Walsh appealed against his conviction and claimed he was the victim of violence, not them.

However, Judge John McNaught, sitting with two magistrates, rejected the appeal and upheld Walsh's conviction.

The replica hublot watches justices did not make any alteration to Walsh's punishment - a community order coupled with Pounds 100 compensation to Mr Mars.

And because of unemployed Walsh's difficult financial situation they did not order him to pay any of the costs of the appeal.

James Counsell, prosecuting, said two groups of builders were working in the High street near Walsh's flat on November 11 last year.

One group, working for Crown Clearance, were emptying the former Soundhouse shop below Walsh's home and were loading metal equipment into a van.

At 1.15pm, Walsh shouted from his window at Mr Mars, a Bristol University photography student who was working part-time for the fir m.

He complained about the noise, asking Mr Mars if he thought he was 'clever' to be causing it.

A few minutes later, Walsh shouted at another of the workers, Jeremy Pilcher, in the same way.

Walsh then left his flat, walked up to Mr Mars and "thrust his head towards his face, catching him in the mouth with a head-butt", Mr Counsell said.

"It was hard enough to send Mr Mars to the ground. Mr Mars went back into the shop Montega Fake and was followed by Walsh," the barrister said.

"Gordon Young, the owner of the company, told him to leave, but Walsh then attempted to head-butt Mr Pilcher, but missed. He picked up a broom and started to swing it at Mr Young, although there was no impact."

Mr Counsell said Mr Young grabbed hold of Walsh and together with the other workers and a passing special constable he was overpowered and arrested. "He was taken to the police station. He did have some injuries, but we say that was because he had to be restrained because of his behaviour."

Mr Mars told the court he was "shocked and disorientated" when Walsh head-butted him and suffered a cut and swollen lip and was bleeding.

Walsh, in evidence, claimed Mr Mars was abusive to him when he complained about the noise and kicked his dog.

It was the dog pulling on its lead that caused him to bump heads with Mr Mars, he said.

He claimed he was then dragged inside the shop and beaten up by the workmen.

But dismissing the appeal, the judge said although the workmen may have used "an jimmy choo Handbags unnecessary and improper amount of violence" at the end of the incident, the court was satisfied it was Walsh who started it.

Attack on pensioner is no refl

Let's hope somebody shops the hooded Taunton teenager who attacked 63-year-old pensioner Jenny Eggleton - all 5ft 2in of her - in broad daylight.

After knocking her to the ground, he grabbed her handbag containing bank cards, personal items and Pounds 70 in cash, and although she bravely held on to it watches d for some 10 yards, with grazed knees and bruised arms she eventually had to let go.

Jenny still had the guts to chase him until he disappeared.

The one shame is that none of the older local lads I know from the area were around to witness this cowardly attack, because if they'd caught him, I'm sure he would think twice about ever doing it again.

Although this type of incident shouldn't ever take place anywhere, it happily doesn't happen very often in Taunton or the other country towns of our region.

If you have any information about this attack, you can phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

I'm pleased to write of the happier side of Taunton life from The Wurzels' experience there last Wednesday, when we performed in what they say is the longest pub in England - the one that stretches from East Street through to Magdalene Street.

The place was packed with people of all ages creating an incredible atmosphere for us to work in, and with not a hint of trouble.

We chat to security staff wherever we play and they always tell us they do not have problems with our crowds, because they all come to have a good time.

And they really do come - from all over, and of all ages.

After the show on Wednesday we chatted to some of the 50 squaddies who had travelled down from Tidworth barracks for the evening.

They were all cracking lads, with some of them due to go off to Afghanistan soon. Come back safely, boys!

We also met a lovely couple who had had an absolute ball all evening. They had left home in Newcastle-upon-Tyne at 4am to come and see us, as they had never done so before.

We are so lucky to have fans like that.

The following day, when my wife Chris and I were in the supermarket, a lady much the same age as Jenny Eggleton came up, all excited, to say her son had bought her a ticket and she had had a brilliant night at our gig.

I don't know how she even managed to see us, because she must have been all of 5ft tall. But it was lovely to meet another satisfied customer who had had a safe night out in Taunton.

Finally, see you after the races at Bath Racecourse on Friday - all feeling flush louis vuitton Monogram Vernis after fleecing the bookies.

Police urge banks to adopt 'no

The man who whipped out a gun and held up Chase Bank in Troy earlier this month could have come out of Central Casting. He was wearing the bank robber's uniform: a billed cap and shades, as well as a moustache.

"If you see a guy (in a bank lobby) with a baseball cap, dark glasses and a moustache (or) beard, it's probably a bank robber, not a customer," said Lt. Larry Faulkner of the Dayton Police Department. Faulker said the disguise is so common, he advises tellers to call the police if they simply see a man dressed in that manner waiting in line.

Fendi Replica Handbags The FBI and police nationwide are advising banks to adopt a policy of "no hats, no hoods, no sunglasses, no cell phones" to head off robberies. More banks are doing so, but in some cases the idea is pitting police against bankers concerned about alienating law- abiding customers.

Bank robberies have declined over the years, said Special Agent Harry Trombitas of the FBI's Columbus office, but the numbers could be even lower if more banks had the "no hats" policy.

"I'm not aware of any bank or credit union who have gone to that who have been robbed," he said.

But Chase Bank spokeswoman Nancy Norris said Chase doesn't use the policy in any of its markets because "we think it is too difficult to apply fairly and without discrimination to all our customers." Some people may wear head coverings for religious reasons, or sunglasses because of a vision problem.

"We would like to reduce bank robberies, as well," Norris said. "I can say our people are well trained and observant in what's going on in a branch."

The no-hat policy strips would-be robbers of their disguises, making them more identifiable to witnesses and on securitycamera footage. Robbers use cell phones to cover their faces, to take photos to case the bank layout and to communicate with accomplices.

Trombitas said 90 percent of bank robbers use the hats/hoods/ sunglasses disguise. They like to blend in with other customers until they reach the teller window, where they display a robbery note or a gun.

"He knows we're going to get a great picture of his ball cap as he's waiting in line," Trombitas said.

The no-hat policy "forces them to make a decision," he said. If the robber complies, he becomes more identifiable. If he doesn't, "he's now the rule breaker. Everybody's looking at him, which is exactly what he doesn't want."

A number of local financial institutions, including Liberty Bank and Triangle Credit Union, have used the policy for a year or more. In recent weeks, National City Bank's area branches have adopted parent PNC's no-hat policy.

"We believe it makes good sense for our customers and our employees," said PNC spokesman Fred Solomon. "We recognize that not every customer who comes through the door with a hat or sunglasses on is Damier azur Replica a security threat. (But) it helps to discourage people who have intentions to rob the facility."

Fifth Third Bank has considered the policy, but hasn't implemented it. "The greatest challenge is how do you enforce that?" said spokeswoman Lea Ann Stevenson. "When Grandma comes in with sunglasses after her cataract surgery, do you make her take them off?" Also, bank officials worry about their employees confronting possible robbers to enforce the dress code, she said.

No hats doesn't guarantee

Police warning over valuables

GONE What people left in cars:

32 x handbags, backpacks, briefcases

25 x sunglasses

9 x iPods

8 x cellphones

Cincinnati-Reds

8 x wallets z7 x cash

5 x GPS units

4 x laptops z2 x radar detectors

1 x digital camera

Car owners are not getting the message about crime and are asking for their vehicles to be broken into, New Plymouth police say.

Senior Sergeant Selwyn Wansbrough told the Taranaki Daily News small valuable items such as laptops, GPS units and radar detectors are popular targets for thieves and people needed to use common sense with their belongings.

"Take care, put away valuable items, lock them in your glovebox or boot," he said. "We keep repeating the same message but some people set themselves up to be victims."

Last year police recorded 517 thefts from vehicles in the New Plymouth area and only 45 of those cases were resolved.

A Taranaki Daily News spot check this week found a high number of motorists are still leaving valuables in plain sight.

Of more than 220 vehicles observed along Devon St and in the Centre City car park, 101 valuable items were left in full view of passers-by.

In most instances, the vehicles either had multiple items visible that would be of interest to thieves or nothing at all.

The most common items were handbags and backpacks (32), sunglasses (25), iPods (9) and cellphones (8).

They were usually located in the centre consol, on the passenger seat, or fixed to the inside of the windscreen. Of the reported thefts from cars in the New Plymouth area in 2009, more than 75 per cent of the incidents involved goods valued at less than $500.
