a fight on Bob's Valley Road, Sandys Parish, denied committing the offence when he was interviewed by Police, a Supreme Court jury heard yesterday.

Eugene Levi Robinson, of Bob's Valley, was interviewed on March 13, 1994, one day after a fight that sent Police constables Dean Stanford and Pythagoras Santiago to hospital.

In the interview with Police Insp. Legay Farley, Robinson admitted taking off his helmet and placing it in his moped's basket but denied ever using it as a weapon during the fight.

He also had no explanation for the facial injuries the constables received.

Robinson is charged with escaping lawful custody, assault with intent to prevent his own detention and assaulting P.c. Dean Stanford.

The offences are alleged to have occurred on March 12, 1994 around 10 p.m.

Witness Alroy Darrell said that he had attended a football game with some friends at the Somerset Cricket Club and the game was finished around 9.30 p.m.

They were sitting near Baxter's variety store when the saw a Police car chasing a man on a red moped.

"He went through Sandys Secondary but they didn't catch him. Then Robinson came down the road riding a red moped. We stopped him and told him a guy got chased. He said he had just had a bath and had just left his house.'' Darrell said the rental model Robinson was riding was very popular and many men from Sandys Parish had rented the type from Ray's Cycles and were riding them around.

"He only got so far and the Police car backed up,'' Darrell continued. "They got out, asked him for the rental papers and sat inside the car with the light on reading them.

"They said he wasn't the guy they had been chasing. He was about to ride off, then the Police stopped him again.'' Darrell said P.c Santiago and P.c. Stanfored then gripped Robinson, put him in a head lock and pulled his arm out of its socket.

"Levi (Robinson) was trying to get away, he was trying to free himself. He grabbed them by the nuts. They had him, he had them.'' Darrell said that during the fight he was standing on the porch near the entrance to (Baxter's) store.

P.c. Brian Young, who was one of the first officers to arrive after the fight had ended around 10.20 p.m., said he found P.c. Stanford bent over, dazed and unresponsive to questions.

Meanwhile P.c. Santiago was standing with a bruised and swollen left eye. He was also dazed and similarly unresponsive.

The case continues today before the Chief Justice the Hon. Mr. Justice Ward.

Mr. Archie Warner appears for the accused while Mr. Philip Storr appears for the Crown.

Kyle Baxter, 18, of Bob's Valley Lane, Sandys, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to assaulting Police constables Santiago and Stanford and causing them grievous bodily harm on March 12, 1994.
