FERRY'S SON FACES SIX MONTHS IN JAIL

LATEST: The son of rock legend BRYAN FERRY could remain in jail for six months before his trial for allegedly perverting the course of justice by trying to discredit a witness in his robbery and assault trial.

OTIS FERRY

Otis Ferry is accused of having telephoned his groomsman David Hodgkiss on 8 September (08) and "instructed him not to provide the police with certain evidence in relation to an allegation of robbery", prior to his trial which was due to begin last Monday (15Sep08).

Ferry was arrested and charged in April (08) after he was accused of wrestling a video camera from one woman as she filmed him reportedly taking part in a fox hunt - which is now an illegal sport in the U.K.

Ferry was also accused of smashing another woman's car window and hitting her with the radio antenna, which he had snapped off the same vehicle prior to the alleged attack.

The 25-year-old - who denies the charges - appeared in court on Wednesday (24Sep08) for a preliminary hearing over two charges of perverting the course of justice - and was told he will be remanded in jail until 5 December (08) to stand trial in March (09).
