Stevenson will appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (July 18).

It is standard protocol for serving officers facing court proceedings to have their cases heard outside the local area, partly for impartiality reasons as local judges or magistrates may know the officers on a professional basis.
