NEW dad Samuel Bishop, 19, will spend the next three-and-a-half weeks away from his partner and days-old baby daughter.

And their separation might last a lot longer after police had to use CS spray on Bishop and on his father, Christopher, 40, during an incident at the Weighbridge taxi rank early on Sunday.

Bishop junior, of Flat 2, 45, Longstore, admitted disorderly behaviour and assaulting and resisting police. Bishop senior, of Trafford House, Les Croutes, St Peter Port, admitted disorderly behaviour and obstructing police.

Advocate Paul Lockwood said that the younger accused had become a father in the last two weeks and wanted to spend time with his partner and baby daughter before the almost inevitable term of youth detention, but the bail application was refused and the accused, who had a bad record, was remanded in custody until sentencing on 11 September.
