NASSAU-Police arrested an injured man after he behaved aggressively when they tried to assist him.
Officers met Dewitt “Bucket” Butler bleeding from the head when they responded to a disturbance on Palm Breeze Avenue at 11:30pm on June, a court heard.
But when PC 3612 Williams questioned Butler about what had happened, he deliberately bumped into the officer and cursed him.
Then, Butler called the officer a “p*****” and threatened to kill him.
Butler didn’t stop his abusive behavior and officers arrested him.
They took him to hospital for treatment for his injury.
Butler, who also uses the name Devon Rolle, still had his head bandaged when he appeared in court.
He admitted charges of threats of death, assaulting a police officer, obscene language and disorderly behavior at his arraignment before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain.
Butler told the court that he had been chopped in the head during a gathering.
He said, “I got too intoxicated and I get chapped in my head. I really wasn’t in my right state of mind.”
Butler asked the magistrate not to send him to prison and suggested community service as an appropriate punishment.
The magistrate imposed fines totaling $800. If Butler doesn’t pay, he’ll spend two months in prison.
Meanwhile, there’s no word on when the person who chopped Butler will be charged.
