It has now been confirmed that Maurice was arrested by the police sometime around 4pm yesterday, on the orders of some faceless probation service worker. Exactly what transpired is not yet clear but apparently he is being held by the police awaiting transfer to Swansea prison.
Here is the version of events supplied by his Sister who visited him.
Having stayed in at hostel all day as probation officer Sally Powell (based at Barry
Police Station) had said she would see Maurice at 0930hrs . She arrived
worked with 6 other folk went to lunch and then never came back.
At
4pm the Swansea Police are asked to arrest M. He is currently in their
suite and with probably be transferred to Cardiff Jail tomorrow.
The
police report that they have been given very little information but
that he has behaved badly and the 'other' box has been ticked. Even they
are baffled!
His
licence has been revoked and now there is no recourse via courts etc
and they could keep him inside UNTIL NEXT MARCH thus squashing the civil
case against the South wales Police as it will have run out of time.
ONLY publicity will free Maurice................please help!
Bad
behaviour = a stitch up when he visited Kingsway Surgery to confirm his
long awaited The Heath Hospital appointment for anaesthetic op for
internal examination due next Thursday 17th July. He saw a lovely
genuine doctor Dr Lewis. He had asked the staff to check his appointment
still stood. It was not confirmed whilst he saw the Dr and so he went
back a second time (having walked back to the hostel) and again the
staff had not rung the hospital. He was exasperated but never rude nor
spoke loudly.
He
was reported as being 'intimidating'. On visiting another medical
practice he was told: 'folk from that hostel go to the Kingsway
Practice'. It now turns out that very few people are able to comply with
their licence and are returned with no hope from whence they came.
