A MAN was arrested in Evesham town centre yesterday (July 1) by officers from the Evesham Town Centre Team following an incident.
The 51-year-old was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder following a man being assaulted in the Gardeners Arms pub in Littleworth Street on Friday evening (27 June).
Following his arrest, he was searched, and officers found four small bags containing a white powder.
He was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug and driving whilst unfit through drugs.
Sergeant Duncan Eades, from Evesham Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “Violence, drug-related offending and drug-driving have no place in our communities.
“Incidents of this nature can have serious consequences, not only for those directly involved but also for members of the public who witness them.
“Our officers will continue to proactively target those suspected of committing offences that put others at risk, and we encourage anyone with information about crime in Evesham to report it to us.”
The man has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
