Wednesday, 12 February 2014 00:00

A police officer charged with assault has had a number of charges against her withdrawn.

Charlene Dooley appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday.

She had faced charges of common assault, assault with actual bodily harm and affray - the offences were alleged to have taken place on Boxing Day of last year.

The 31-year-old Laxey woman will now only face the one charge of common assault.

Ms Dooley is currently suspended from work; the charges were not related to her duties.

She’ll appear again in court on March 18th.
