Dene Davies, 30, also lit a pillow with a lighter he managed to smuggle into jail and damaged the home of his ex-partner. A court heard Davies was given unpaid work for assaulting an emergency worker last year, but had not completed any of the hours. Defending himself, Davies told Worcester Magistrates' Court he had a medical reason for not doing it. He said: "I'll do unpaid work, I go to the gym five times a week. If it means me getting out of here (custody) I would go and do it." And the plea worked as the university graduate, from Brickfields, Worcester, was spared jail yesterday despite admitting two offences of assault by beating of an emergency worker, and one of arson. Chairman of the Magistrates bench, Martin Soble, gave the defendant an 18-month community order with 24 weeks curfew and 40 days of rehabilitation requirement. When Davies asked if his curfew hours could be altered for a boxing class the chairman told him "sorry, no". The defendant was told to pay a total of £682.86 compensation and given a two-year restraining order preventing contact with his former partner, Worcester News reports. A previous hearing was told the yob admitted two offences of assault by beating of an emergency worker, and one of arson. Davies had also failed to comply with the requirements of a community order and failed to turn up at court for an earlier hearing. Court officials told Mirror a criminal damage charge, relating to an incident at his ex partner's home, was withdrawn. Davies kicked two police officers in the early hours of August 14 last year, after he had been drinking in a bar in Worcester. He had been asked repeatedly to leave the area){kind=link}
