Former policeman guilty on two assault charges

SHERIFFS attempting to evict a Warrawong man from his unit were forced to call in police when he threatened the officers with a crowbar, a court has heard.Police were forced to subdue Peter Bevan Dunn, 50, with capsicum spray when he refused to co-operate with the eviction order and repeatedly threatened to hit the officers with the crowbar if they entered the property.He was yesterday found guilty in Wollongong Local Court of hindering the sheriffs in the execution of their duties, and also assaulting a sheriff and a police officer.A further charge of assaulting a law officer was dismissed.Sheriffs Michael Riquelme and Geraldine Trimarchi went to Dunn’s Todd St unit on May 23 with an eviction notice from the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.

The court heard Mr Riquelme attempted to speak with Dunn through the closed screen door and explain the process, however he refused to co-operate and instead grabbed a nearby crowbar and showed it to the officers.

“He said if you do come in I will hurt you,” Ms Trimarchi said.

Mr Riquelme told the court he felt fearful and, after Dunn slammed the door shut, called police.

Four officers arrived a short time later and another attempt was made to speak with Dunn, who did not answer the door.

Dunn told the court he had been in a back room using his computer and had not heard the officers.

Lake Illawarra police officer Constable Giampiero Giuri told the court Ms Trimarchi made two attempts to kick the door open without success before he managed to kick the door open, revealing Dunn standing close by holding the crowbar above his head.

Constable Giuri said Dunn was yelling and acting aggressively and, after making several requests for him to put down the crowbar, Const Giuri pushed Ms Trimarchi out of the way before subduing Dunn with capsicum spray. He was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station.

Dunn, an ex-police officer, said he had no intention of harming the sheriffs or police and was merely protecting his property.

He told the court he had slammed the door shut out of fear he would be tasered by the sheriffs.

Magistrate Shane McAnulty found Dunn guilty of three charges – obstructing a sheriff, assaulting a law officer and assaulting a police officer. Mr McAnulty said the assault had not involved battery but he was satisfied the victims had felt an immediate threat.

He placed Dunn on a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Although Peter joined the NSW Police Force via the Police Cadet system in 1978, he is not mentioned on the Ex-Police Cadets Association website 

 

On behalf of the Policing family ( old and new ) I would love to congratulate those people at Hurstville who put themselves above and beyond to look after one of their own.  A man who was obviously loved and respected to the point that the members went to his home and spent the entire day there upgrading his yards.

I love the gesture of his kids having tattooed Peter’s Registered number on their forearms to forever remember their father.

May Peter forever Rest In Peace and his family know that he was obviously a much loved person and work mate.

On 19 August 2008 an offender armed with a blood fille dsyring committed two armed robberies - one at Sportsgirl Clothing Store, Paddington and one at Beauchamp Hotel in Darlinghurst. Following identification of the offender by a witness from the Sportsgirl Clothing robbery Detective Senior Constable Therese Honess and Detective Senior Constable Stephen Davis located the offender and a foot pursuit began. The offender threatened to stab Detective Senior Constable Davis on several occasions and when the offender did not desist, Detective Senior Constable Davis drew his firearm and repeatedly called on the offender to cease and surrender. The offender did not relent and continued to try and flee from police. At one stage during the foot pursuit Sergeant Conroy drove between the offender and the officer's to protect them. As the offender was moving away from police and headed in the direction of a number of bystanders, Sergeant Controy manoeuvred the police vehicle to a point where he was able to tap the offender off his feet which enabled Detective Senior Constable Davis and Detective Senior Constable Honess to move in/ pry the syringe from the offender and effect an arrest. The offender had been responsible for a number of violent and serious crimes across multiple police Commands and the arrest had a significatn effect on the community safety. by his actions Sergeant Conroy displayed good police work and is commended.

TWO MEN DIE IN SEWER

SYDNEY, Sunday: Poisonous fumes in a sewer yesterday killed a workman and a male nurse who went down the sewer shaft to help him.

The two men were Vittorio Chiaruttini, 40, whose wife and family live in Melbourne, and Edward James Markey, 35, the male nurse.

Chiaruttini, works foreman of a sewerage scheme being installed in Hay, went down the sewer shaft and when he did not reappear his workmate went for help.

Markey, a married man with two children, volunteered to go down the sewer.

When he failed to reappear Police Constable White went down the shaft, and at the second attempt managed to get a rope around the bodies of the two men.

Mysterious Gas Kills Two In Narrow Tunnel

HAY, Sunday.

Two men died yesterday after being overcome by a mysterious gas which filled a narrow tunnel on a new sewerage project at Hay.

They were Victorio Chiaruttuni, 40, foreman, employed by McDonald Construction Co., and Edwin James Markey, 35, a male nurse at Hay Hospital.

Chiaruttuni entered the tunnel on a normal inspection tour and was overcome by the fumes.

Markey heard Chiaruttuni’s cries for help ; and after calling the police, entered the tunnel but was also overcome by the gas.

Constable Rex White, of Hay Police, entered the tunnel with a length of garden hose in his mouth because gas masks were unavailable.

He was semi-conscious and partly paralysed by the gas after rescuing the two men.

The three men were rushed to Hay Hospital, but Chiaruttuni and Markey failed to respond to treatment. Constable White was allowed to leave after treatment.

PETER’S BODY FOUND   ON MURRAY SNAG

MILDURA, Wednesday: Police today found the body of seven-year-old Peter Philp in the River Murray.

The boy had been missing from Dareton, N.S.W., since last Friday week.

A post-mortem by the Government medical officer from Wentworth, and medical superintendent at Mildura Hospital last night revealed the boy had died by   drowning.

Constables Rex White of Wentworth, and Eric Maurer of Buronga, found Peter’s body snagged against the branch of a submerged tree, about 250 yards from where his clothing was found last Sunday week.

C.I.B. headquarters said last night detectives on the case were satisfied there were no suspicious circumstances. There were no marks of violence on the body.

Peter’s disappearance set off one of the most intensive investigations ever in the area 12 miles from Mildura.

Detectives were puzzled by the fact that Peter vanished at 6.15 p.m. – only 15 minutes before he was due to meet his soldier settler father, Mr. Alf Philp, near the sweet shop the boy had just left.


 

XIII. Acts of Bravery by Police.
A number of Police distinguished themselves by performing acts of bravery during 1956. Brief particulars are shown
hereunder:—
Constable Rex Keith White, has been awarded the British Empire Medal, as well as the Bronze Medal and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Shipwreck Relief and Humane Society in recognition of his bravery on the 7th January, 1956, in descending into an underground sewer main, then under construction at Hay.
In the first place Vittorio Chiaritina, works foremen on the job, had entered the sewer where he had been overcome by some unknown gas and collapsed. Edwin James Markey descended to the sewer in an endeavour to rescue Chiaritina, but was overcome and collapsed. Constable White was advised that the two men had collapsed and he immediately descended into the sewer, but became affected to such an extent that he could barely give the signal to be hauled up. Although practically unconscious, he was again lowered into the sewer with a garden hose in his mouth. He could not get sufficient air by this means, but although badly affected by the gas, was able to fasten a rope round Markey, and both he and Markey were hauled to the surface. A civilian named Graeme Barry Mitchell then descended and tied a rope round Chiaritina, who was brought to the surface. Mr. Mitchell has also been awarded the British Empire Medal, and the Queen’s Commendation for Brave Conduct has been conferred (posthumously) upon Markey.
