A man who was arrested by police investigating alleged witness intimidation by rock star Bryan Ferry’s son, Otis, has been released on bail.

Ferry, 26, is in custody awaiting trial in March while three other people – one of them his girlfriend – are also on police bail following their arrests at the end of last year.

A 29-year-old man from Caynham, near Ludlow, Shropshire, was arrested on Friday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

He has been bailed to attend Stroud police station on January 28.

Ferry, of Eaton Mascott, near Shrewsbury, has been charged with assaulting and robbing a woman hunt monitor and two counts of perverting the course of justice.

Ferry, who is joint master of the South Shropshire Hunt, denies assaulting Hunt monitor Helen Ghalmi of a camera and assaulting her during a meeting of the Heythrop Hunt, near Stow-on-the-Wold, in November 2007.

He has also pleaded not guilty to doing acts intended to pervert the course of justice by telling his former groomsman David Hodgkiss not to give evidence against him on charges of robbery and assault.
