Wigan man made menacing call to police officer

Nigel Ewens, 40, of Crossdale Road in Hindley Green, appeared in the dock before Wigan and Leigh magistrates to plead guilty to making a threatening or abusing call to a PS Hall on September 20.

This put him in breach of a two-year discharge issued by Medway magistrates in March 2019 for assaulting a man in Gravesend, Kent, in January of that year.

The Wigan bench put him on a course for alcohol abusers, ordered that he complete 20 days of rehabilitation activities and pay a fine, court costs and a victim services surcharge totalling £300.
