The Investigative Court number 3 of Arrecife has sentenced a 35-year-old British tourist to four months in prison and a 40-day fine for attacking two Civil Guard officers during a police intervention in a hotel in Costa Teguise.
The events date back to June 17, around 1:15 a.m., at which time the convicted person was in an "aggressive attitude and disturbing the order" of a hotel establishment on Avenida de Las Palmeras in Costa Teguise .
The agents were informed of a possible case of gender violence in the tourist accommodation. When they arrived at the scene, they invited the accused to calm down, but the man showed himself "with a defiant attitude and refused to cooperate," according to the proven facts of the sentence to which La Voz has had access .
The now convicted man showed "absolutely hostile behavior", struggled "roughly" with the agents and maintained "a defiant and aggressive attitude." The British tourist, from a town south of Manchester, punched one of the officers in the face several times , causing damage to his cheekbones, head and nose. In addition, he knocked the two agents to the ground and fell with them.
After that, he struggled "roughly and violently" with the civil guards and even stuck his fingers in the eyes of one of them. The Court highlights that she "maintained highly aggressive behavior", that she broke a watch belonging to one of them and destroyed a transmitter of the General Directorate itself. After that, he had to be subdued by the agents .
Both officers suffered several injuries to their faces and different parts of their bodies during the police intervention.
For this reason, he has been sentenced to four months in prison for the crime of attack and a 40-day fine, with a fee of six euros per day, for the two minor crimes of injuries, one for each officer attacked.
In addition, he must compensate one of the agents with 968.59 euros for the injuries suffered and another of them with 709.17 euros, as well as an additional 129 euros for the broken watch. You will also have to pay the 269 euros that the Airbus transmitter costs to the General Directorate of the Civil Guard.
The Investigative Body has agreed that he also pays the procedural costs and that the prison sentence is not served with the condition that he does not commit a crime in the following two years and that he pays the civil liabilities to which he has been sentenced.
