AN Exmoor man has been jailed for 28 weeks after assaulting a police officer just six months after receiving a suspended prison sentence.
Jesse Hughes, age 26, of Barnsclose Mead, Dulverton, appeared before District Judge Angela Brereton in Taunton Magistrates Court on Wednesday (April 29).
He pleaded guilty to damaging a Dulverton woman’s front door and window on April 28 and to assaulting PC James Calloway in Bridgwater on the same day.
Hughes was given a suspended sentence last October for using a weapon in a neighbourhood dispute and spitting at a police officer, and the new offences happened during the suspension period.
