Jailed man, to be lashed, deported

A criminal court in Fujairah sentenced an Arab man to six months in prison, and ordered him lashed 80 times and deported after he was found guilty of assaulting police and committing adultery with an Asian woman.
Police told court that the defendant resisted violently and assaulted them when they tried to arrest him for having an illegitimate affair with a woman.
The defendant claimed that he did not know they were cops on the grounds they were in plain clothes and did not produce police ID.
Newspapers said the judge issued the sentence after he found the defendant guilty of assault and committing adultery. The woman was also ordered deported.
