Accused was arrested, taken to police station and interviewed for one hour on videotape.

The accused was also at time bound by a probation order to keep peace. The accused was subsequently charged with two counts of assault police and with a breach of probation. The accused was convicted as the Court ruled the evidence did not leave any doubt that the accused committed the assault.
