A DENE Court resident has been ordered to take part in an alcohol rehabilitation programme after assaulting a man in Abbotts Ann.

Jamie Russell Cameron admitted to the assault on January 4 and to using threatening and abusive behaviour towards the same man when he appeared in Basingstoke Magistrates' Court recently.

The 38-year-old was issued with a community order with an alcohol treatment requirement and a rehabilitation requirement.

Cameron was also ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge but no order was made for costs or compensation.
