A man who damaged a police officer’s body camera has been ordered to participate in a mental health treatment programme.

Delmari Scott, 40, admitted shouting and swearing at officers and resisting arrest when he appeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

The court heard that Scott was at a Sandys property on Thursday, where, according to the owner, he was “not welcome”.
