Was aggressive to officers after refusing to get out of taxi

A 20 year old Spalding man had to be ‘repeatedly restrained’ because of his ‘aggressive and volatile behaviour’ towards police officers who had been called when he refused to get out of a taxi.

Iuri Rodriguez of Wygate Road failed to attend Boston Magistrates Court and the case was heard in his absence.

Ben Payne, prosecuting, told the court police were called when Rodriguez refused to get out of a taxi in
Boston and they were met with a ‘flurry of abuse and threats’.

He said Rodriguez was in a ‘highly charged’ state and displaying ‘volatile and aggressive behaviour’ and
had to be ‘repeatedly restrained’ but continued to shout abuse and swear at officers.

Mr Payne said Rodriguez pupils were dilated and he was sweating profusely and eventually he had to be
arrested.

The magistrates convicted Rodriguez of threatening and abusive behaviour in his absence and fined him
£440 and ordered him to pay £129 in court costs and charges.
