A criminal court has sentenced an Asian expatriate to six months in jail and fined him QR2,000 for assaulting a policeman, in drunken state and causing nuisance under the influence of alcohol.

The court handed a prison term to the man for assaulting the policeman on duty and fined the convict for drinking and disturbing people.

The convict got drunk and attacked his roommate and injured him. When the roommate went to police and filed a complaint, a policeman was sent to bring the man to police station.

However, when the policeman tried to bring him to police station, the convict fought and injured him. The court took a serious view of the crime and ruled. [The Peninsula]

topgun 90: His company will wake up only when he gets to do something more serious like smashing the the head of somebody or even killing someone. In my company when the management found out that an electrician was weekend drinker, they sent him home within a week. The company did not want to face a situation when this worker would have caused a fire or other damages while working under the influence of alcohol.

MM: Qatar doesn't care if he drinks himself to death or assaults a cop again; so long as he doesn't do so in Qatar.

Brit its pretty much understood that he will be deported after serving his sentence...thats the norm, save for those cases where all the string in Qatar was pulled.
