Police officer.
A TRIAL date has been set for the case of a Barrow man who denies using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to police officers.
Matthew Carswell pleaded not guilty to an offence against Barrow’s PC Johnson during a hearing at Furness and District Magistrates Court on Wednesday (30). The 43-year-old, of Basterfield Gardens, Barrow, is alleged to have committed two offences in Barrow on May 29, the second being against unnamed police officers.
Carswell will stand trial at the same court on Thursday October 12 and remains on unconditional bail until that time.
