MORE than a dozen convictions since 1983 convinced a district court on Wednesday to call for a report to gauge the suitability of Wilson Raj Perumal for corrective training.
The 44-year-old event manager for soccer academy Football 4 U pleaded guilty last month to ramming his body against a Certis Cisco officer, and then injuring the officer while driving off.
Wilson Raj also admitted to driving without a licence and insurance.
Arguing for corrective training, Assistant Public Prosecutor N.K. Anitha said that Wilson Raj had shown wilful defiance of the law last May by driving two friends to the airport when he did not have a driving licence.
When confronted by two Certis Cisco officers for parking illegally, he turned violent, forcing his way to the car and driving off, injuring the officer trying to detain the vehicle for a security screening, said the prosecutor.
She pointed out that in his 44 years, Wilson Raj had accumulated 13 convictions, including housebreaking and theft for which he was placed on probation in 1984. His other crimes included cheating, forgery and fixing football matches in the S-League.
