A 41-year-old man is ordered to pay £100 compensation after slapping a police officer’s buttocks, according to reporting on a case heard in Greater Manchester. Police were called to the man’s lodgings in Stockport late at night after he attempted to cook himself a meal while intoxicated, leaving a scorch mark on a kitchen worktop. The same reports state that, during the police response, the man slapped an officer and was described in court as having “violated” her. The judge issued the compensation order, with commentary that the decision also reflects the judge’s own frustration at the behaviour. The reports focus on the sequence of events involving the intoxicated cooking attempt that prompted police involvement, followed by the assault on an officer. No further details about sentencing beyond the compensation order are included in the provided excerpts.
