A 42-year-old man from Birmingham has been formally charged with assaulting an emergency worker following an alleged incident in the historic town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Liam Bould, of Scholars Close in Birmingham, faces serious allegations after an event that reportedly occurred on Tuesday, January 13.
Multiple Charges Laid by West Mercia Police
West Mercia Police confirmed today, January 28, that Bould has been charged not only with assaulting an emergency worker but also with possession of Class B drugs. The charges stem from an incident that allegedly took place in Shrewsbury, marking a significant development in the case.
Court Appearance Scheduled for Friday
Following his arrest and subsequent release on police bail, Bould is now scheduled to appear before Telford Magistrates' Court tomorrow, Friday, January 30. This court appearance will address both charges brought against him by the authorities.
The police statement issued today provided clear details about the case, confirming the defendant's identity, the nature of the charges, and the upcoming legal proceedings. Assaulting an emergency worker represents a serious offence under UK law, carrying potentially severe penalties upon conviction.
This case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by emergency service personnel while performing their duties and the legal consequences for those alleged to have committed offences against them. The dual nature of the charges – assault and drug possession – adds complexity to the legal proceedings that will unfold in the coming days.
