Man who spat at police officer in Peterborough jailed
A man who spat at a police officer in Peterborough has been jailed.
Aaron Lowe (30) spat at the police constable on January 16 this year.
He appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court earlier this month, where he pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker.
Magistrates said a custodial sentence was warranted because of the nature of the offence - spitting during COVID.
Lowe also pleaded guilty to criminal damage after damaging three wing mirrors on police cars.
Lowe, of Blaines Court, Huntingdon, was given a four month jail sentence, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £128.
