A policeman who was jailed for assault after being caught on CCTV throwing a 57-year-old woman into a cell is back on full pay, it has emerged.

Sgt Mark Andrews, 37, was filmed dragging Pamela Somerville through Melksham police station in Wiltshire.

He was jailed for six months, but freed on bail on Monday pending an appeal.

Papers released ahead of a Wiltshire Police Authority meeting reveal he is "on full pay while suspended, pending the outcome of a conduct hearing".

The documents said this was "in line with police conduct regulations".

Andrews spent six days in prison following sentencing on 7 September.

In meeting notes to the police authority, Chief Constable Brian Moore said: "For this period Wiltshire Police have invoked Home Office Circular 8/07, which allows for the force to withdraw his salary on the grounds he was serving a custodial sentence further to conviction.

"Further to his successful bail application on 13 September 2010, the required conditions in relation to this provision were removed and Sgt Andrews returned to the status of being suspended on full pay."

Ms Somerville, now 59, needed stitches to a gash above her eye following the attack in July 2008.

She had been detained for failing to provide a sample for a breath test after being found asleep in her car, but denied any wrongdoing.

The charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Andrews was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm on 13 July after a trial at Oxford Magistrates' Court.

Passing sentence, Deputy District Judge Peter Greenfield said Andrews had abused his position of trust and only a custodial sentence was appropriate.

Assistant chief constable Patrick Geenty described it as "a disgraceful incident which breached the standards of care which every police officer gives to the public."

He added: "There is no place in Wiltshire Police for an officer like this. I fully support the comments of the judge and the sentence that he has handed down."

An appeal hearing is listed to begin at the same court on 15 November.

The police conduct hearing is also scheduled to take place in November

Usually when someone 'falls down the stairs' in a police station there isn't a video of it.

Indeed. I can see that the police are getting the brunt end after watching the stupid cow squiggling like a child in the front office area.

I bet she was kicking him & dragging her heals before he slung her in the cell.

Act like scum, get treated like scum

I agree, she was after all, a drink driver who though she was above the law when she was caught and refused to co-operate from the moment she was caught by the police. I'm betting she kicked off big-style on the way to the station.

She's not a model so you can't take her up on the moors and freeze her to death in the fog.
