Police also found a small amount of cocaine on him.<\/p>\n<p>The court heard Mr Shorey Snr was taken to hospital and had an X-ray, but luckily suffered only tenderness to his chest and a bloody nose.<\/p>\n<p>He did not support the prosecution of his son and even provided a character reference to the court for him.<\/p>\n<p>He told Judge Orla Austin he wanted to rebuild the relationship with his son and they now get on better than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria Hill, prosecuting, said: &#8216;The victim was never in support of prosecution, he did initially provide a statement to police but retracted it very soon after.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The victim of the offences is the defendant&#8217;s father. They were all at Dudsbury Golf Club in Ferndown, the victim and his wife were renewing their vows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There was some verbal altercation about his use of drugs that appears to have left some issues. The defendant repeatedly punched the victim multiple times to the face and chest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One witness said the defendant was definitely aiming for the victim&#8217;s head..

He was intoxicated and emotional and refused to stay with the police.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He walked off saying he was going to kill himself and the officers took hold of him. In response he lashed out and pushed PC Wells, causing him to fall to the floor. Fortunately no injuries were caused to PC Wells.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Shorey Snr said: &#8216;I want to build a relationship with my son. He has shown remorse since it has happened and we seem now to get on better than ever.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think he was in shock about what he did.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>When the judge asked about drug taking Mr Shorey said his son lived with him and his mother and as far as they are aware he is no longer taking any.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Shorey admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm against his father, possession of a Class A drug and assault of an emergency worker.<\/p>\n<p>James Moore, defending, said: &#8216;This was a horrible incident. Mr Shorey has got this wrong, against the person he probably loves the most. He is devastated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But out of negatives can come positives, if you are willing and able. He has had counselling and he has learnt that alcohol is a very dangerous mind-bending drug.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He has gone back into the family home and is very remorseful. He wouldn&#8217;t dare get himself into such a state that he&#8217;s likely to do it again.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>District Judge Orla Austin sentenced Shorey to a 12-month community order with 160 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to pay \u00a3200 compensation to PC Wells and \u00a385 prosecution costs.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8216;This was a horrible incident. Your father was renewing his wedding vows on what should have been a special and memorable occasion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But he emerged from that with injuries caused by you. I accept it was influenced by alcohol and drugs, and because of your good character, what probation say, your remorse and references, I am prepared to impose a community order.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12836587\/Drunken-son-beat-father-wedding-vows-cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drunken son who beat up his father at his parents&#8217;
