The complainant in a case in which former Black Star defender, John Painstil, has been charged with assaulting a public officer, has refused an out of court settlement.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mr Emmanuel Basintale refused a suggestion from the Accra Circuit Court for the two parties to use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to settle the dispute.

John Paintsil is alleged to have assaulted the police officer, who is the East Legon District Police Commander.

The alleged assault took place when he was invited to the East Legon police station following a complaint by the wife of the defender that he had allegedly stolen her car.

He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of causing harm, offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace, assault of a public officer and threat to harm.
