Unwarranted aggression and scare tactics
were cited by the court as evidence that the official had exceeded legal
boundaries by abusing his power, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The 25-year-old defendant was found
guilty on two of the seven charges brought forward by the
Public Prosecution.
The charges that resulted in conviction included displaying force or
threatening violence, as well as resisting public servants.
It is worth noting that the verdict can
be challenged by filing an appeal with a higher court.
The accused faced a total of seven charges,
which encompassed misdemeanors such as displaying force, threatening violence,
and intending to intimidate or exert power.
The additional charges brought against
the defendant included resisting public employees, causing damage to property,
disturbing public peace, carrying and possessing dangerous tools, and
concealing evidence.
Court records also shed light on the
convict's history of serious offenses against honor and public morality. This
history includes possession of a firearm, discharging firearms, seducing a
minor, and possession of narcotics.
The court's decision concluded that the
perpetrator's intention was to inflict physical or moral harm upon the
complainant, resulting in property damage through the use of force and threats
of violence.
In reaching its verdict, the court
carefully examined eight pieces of evidence submitted during the proceedings.
