A middle-aged man who beat a middle school student with a cricket bat was today sentenced to 90 days in prison.Glen Fox, appearing at Magistrates’ Court, was also given two years probation for the attack on the teenage boy in St David’s on June 2.As part of his probation, Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner ordered him not to associate with individuals engaged in illegal activity, comply with all random drug tests and join a life skills programme with an emphasis on anger management.Fox, of St David’s, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing actual bodily harm to the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and having an offensive weapon during the incident near the Gulf Stream housing facility.At about 4.50pm that day, Fox approached the teenager, who was playing cricket, and told him: “I’m going to deal with your a**.”The court heard he took the bat from the teen and struck him in the head with it.The victim fell to the ground but Fox continued to swing the bat at him, striking him in the body.When the boy returned to his feet, Fox attacked him again, but was pulled away by members of the public.He went inside the Gulf Stream facility, where he was confronted by the victim’s father.The entire attack was recorded on CCTV cameras and the teenager was taken to the Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre, where he was treated for multiple cuts and bruises.Fox, who was representing himself, was asked by Mr Warner if he was drunk when it happened.He replied: “I had a beer or two.”Mr Warner told him: “You dare hit someone’s child when in an impaired state of mind through alcohol? You cannot drink, get drunk, and beat up people’s children.”
