He also pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly in a public place, at King Edwards Parade, and to being in possession of a quantity of cannabis on the same date.

He admitted being in breach of a two year conditional discharge, made by a court in 2017 for assaulting police officers.

He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison and ordered to pay a total of £150 compensation. Magistrates said the reason for the custodial sentence was because of ‘multiple assaults on police officers, one aggravated by a head butt, and committed while under the influence of alcohol’.
