A REPEAT offender was back in court after her latest offence of assaulting an emergency worker. Magistrates heard Gemma Payne, of Brittania Road, Worcester assaulted by beating PC Townsend who was at the time acting in the exercise of her duties as an emergency worker. Payne, who had a record of drunk and disorderly convictions, appeared in the Worcester News last year after she punched a man in front of the police while drunk just hours after she had been fined for a similar offence by city magistrates. For her latest offence the 25-year-old was fined £120 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £34. There was no order for costs. The total amount, £154, is to be paid in full by October 5. Meanwhile Ashton Walker, of Balmoral Close, Malvern, was given a conditional discharge for damaging property without lawful excuse. The 31-year-old admitted damaging a television, wifi router and bathroom tiles to the value of £300, with the intention to destroy or damage the property by being reckless. Walker was given a six month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £22 - which he has to pay by October 5. There was no order for costs. A 68-year-old man was fined after admitting to riding a bike while unfit because he was drunk. Worcester Magistrates Court heard Royce Hasbury was drunk and incapable of having control of the bike when he rode it in Bransford Road on March 6 at 1.20am in the morning. Hasbury, of Newland Crescent, Rushwick, was fined £80, told to pay a victim surcharge of £32 and costs of £135. The total, £247, has to be paid in full by October 5. The cases were heard at the court on September 7.
