Home detention for contempt co
A FORMER police officer who became the first person convicted of contempt of the NSW Police Integrity Commission (PIC) will serve his six-month sentence at home.
Christopher John Walker, 57, was sentenced in September to six months jail, but was released on bail while authorities assessed his suitability for home detention.
In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Robert McDougall said Walker could serve his sentence in home detention.
Questioned during a December, 2004, PIC hearing, Walker - a one-time work partner of corrupt former police officer Christopher Laycock - falsely claimed he could not recall events.
The PIC was investigating possible criminal conduct by Laycock and his associates, and Walker was questioned about allegations he had gone to premises in Chiswick to extort money from drug dealers.
After he was warned he could face a contempt charge, Walker returned to the PIC in January, 2005, to answer questions about the Chiswick incident.
His account was that he had been retained by drug dealers to obtain money owed for the sale of illegal drugs, the court was told.
He was the first person to be convicted of contempt of the PIC and was sentenced to six months jail on September 25 this year.
Justice McDougall today ordered Walker's home detention to begin from tomorrow and continue until May 8, 2007.
