have six weeks to improve his behaviour before he is sentenced.

Floyd Calvin Spence on Friday pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to two counts of assaulting Police officers, violently resisting arrest, and destroying the windshield of a car.

Spence, 27, of Whale Bay Road, Southampton, went to his sister's home in Pembroke on New Year's Day this year.

Crown counsel Larry Mussenden told Magistrate Arthur Hodgson that an argument started between Spence, his sister, and her male friend.

Spence was asked to leave, but a short while later he was seen by his sister and her friend smashing the windshield of her white Subaru car with a bucket.

Police were called and a bleeding Spence was spotted on Victoria Street at 2.55 p.m. that day.

Mr. Mussenden said P.c. Mark Clarke and P.c. Susan DeSilva approached Spence and when they questioned him he spat blood on P.c. Clarke and pushed P.c.

DeSilva in the chest.

Spence was taken into custody and told Police he did it because he was "vexed''.

On Friday, Mr. Hodgson told Spence: "You've got to get your temper under control.'' Spence said he was trying to improve, but his sister had put him out into the rain and he was "sorry and ashamed''.

"You should be,'' Mr. Hodgson said. "This kind of thing has been going on since 1988.'' He asked P.c. DeSilva if she had any comments before he sentenced Spence.

She described his behaviour as "frightening''.

"Spitting blood on my partner was inexcusable,'' P.c. DeSilva added.

When Mr. Hodgson told Spence that he may have to be sent to prison, Spence repeated that he had been thrown out into the rain.

"I'm working for my father,'' Spence added. "I'm painting a boat and I feel good about doing it.'' He added he did not want to go back to prison because he had not received help there.

"So much things go on up there, they even had a riot when I was there,'' Spence said. "It's so many guys, they (the counsellors) just never got in contact with me.'' Mr. Hodgson ordered Spence to return to court on June 5 when the social inquiry report is expected to be completed.

"That gives you six weeks to demonstrate to your father and sister how your behaviour has changed,'' he added.
