He was convicted after a


trial,fined £260 and ordered to pay £340 prosecution costs. PC John Scorah told the


court he was driving along Mitton Road, Whalley, when he saw Frankland cycling to­ wards him. Frankland was close to the kerb, but his dog was near to the central white line and there was a queue of cars behind him. “I had never seen anything


like it in 25 years of policing. I stopped and shouted out of my window for him to stop,” said PC Scorah. “There is no way a dog should be running or walking


down thecentreoftheroad,let alone tied to a bicycle. If there had been a reaction to a cat or apersonor anything like that the consequences could have been catastrophic,” he added. PC Scorah got out ofhis van


' andhadtorunafterFrankland and take hold ofhis bike to make him stop. He said Fran­ kland tried to push past him


to cross the road and he had


to physically force him onto the grass verge on his side of the road.


“He pulled but a camcorder


and started filmingme talking to him,” said PC Scorah.


' TheofficeraskedforFran- kland’s details, and when he


‘Ihadneverseen


anything like it in 25 years of policing’


failed to provide them warned him he would have no option but to arrest him. Frankland, his dog and his bike were eventually put in the back of PC Scorah’s van. The officer said Frankland only gave an address when told the *


dog would be put in kennels


or taken to the police station. “I didn’t want to arrest him


andwouldprobablyhavedealt with the whole matter with a caution ifhe had co-operated,” said PC Scorah. Frankland claimed there


was no way the dog qould have been in the middle of the road because the harness he was using was too short. He produced a video of a dog on


a harness, but accepted it was not the one he had been using on the day. He claimed he had thrown that one away the day after the offence. . Franklandsaidhehadbeen


body searched in the back of


the van, during which PC Sco­ rah grabbed his testicles, his bikehad been smashed up and PC Scorah and asecond officer who attended had wiped the footage off his camcorder. MrDominicHowells (pros­


ecuting) said Frankland was alleging sexual assault, crimi­ nal damage and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice against the officers. “You are saying they have


lied in their statements and lied in court today, all for a cy­ cling matter,” said Mr Howells. “You seem to have taken


this matter very seriously and produced video footage from


your home and footage of a re­ construction. “However, the day af­


ter the incident you say you threw away a crucial piece of evidence.”
