A PENRYN man who pleaded guilty to an assault by beating in Falmouth has been made the subject of a community order and a three month curfew by Truro magistrates.

Callum Martin Powell, 23, of 51 Alderwood Parc, Penryn, was also ordered to pay £200 compensation, a surcharge of £95 to fund victim services and to pay Crown Prosecution Service costs of £85 following the assault on Kevin Taylor on May 17, 2021. He pleaded guilty on December 6 last year but was sentenced for the offence last Thursday, January 13.

The community order requires Powell to be the subject of a curfew with electronic monitoring starting on the day of sentence with the requirement that he stays at 51 Alderwood Parc, Penryn from 7:30pm through until 6am on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays and 8:30pm through to 6am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays for a period of three months.

He is also required to take part in rehabilitation activity and comply with any instructions of the responsible officer to attend appointments (with the responsible officer or someone else nominated by them), or to participate in any activity as required by the responsible officer up to a maximum of 16 days.

The defendant's guilty plea was taken into account when imposing sentence.
