A night club patron in Esigodini broke handcuffs when a police officer was trying to arrest him for violence for disorderly behaviour at a public place.

This was heard by Esigodini resident magistrate, Tawanda Muchemwa when Prince Nyoni (18) appeared before him charged with disorderly behaviour at a public place and resisting arrest by a police officer last week.
Nyoni pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $200, of which in default, he would spend two months in prison.
The prosecutor, Jefter Nyikadzinashe, told the court that on February 23 at 2:30am, Nyoni was at Jabula Night Club Inn in Esigodini drinking beer.
He started behaving in a disorderly manner by pushing one of the patrons and he was warned by Alack Rashamira, a doorman, to stop his wayward behaviour.
The accused did not heed the advice, and Rashamira alerted the police, who came to the night club.
When a police officer tried to handcuff him, he resisted and damaged the handcuffs in the process.
