teacher, yesterday denied new charges of assaulting two Police officers and violently resisting arrest.

The former Warwick Secondary student -- who cannot be identified for legal reasons -- appeared in Juvenile Court with his mother and grandparents.

The hearing was scheduled to allow Magistrate Cheryl-Ann Mapp to set trial dates for the student and his 13-year-old schoolmate who also faces an assault charge. Mrs. Mapp issued an arrest warrant for the younger student when he failed to appear in Juvenile Court yesterday.

But prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said that due to an oversight at a hearing last month the Police-related charges were not put to the older boy.

Yesterday, the boy -- who has since been expelled from the public school system -- pleaded not guilty to assaulting two Police officers in Warwick on April 1 and to violently resisting arrest on the same day.

Mrs. Mapp set down the matter for trial on July 23.

But the boy, represented by lawyer Victoria Pearman, will first be tried on June 18 for allegedly unlawfully assaulting Warwick Secondary teacher Victor Coggin on January 3 in Warwick and doing him bodily harm.

And he will be tried on June 19 and 20 for allegedly committing the same offence on March 4 in Warwick. He was released on $500 bail with a like surety.

Mrs. Mapp also imposed a curfew from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. on the youngster.

She explained that even though the alleged offences did not take place at night she intended to order a curfew for all juveniles placed on bail unless there were exceptional circumstances to the contrary.
