A THUG has been jailed for more than four months for two assaults, including one on a police officer.
Douglas Peter Strike pleaded guilty to assaulting a man at Basingstoke police station on February 15 and to assaulting a police officer in Andover on February 14.
Strike also pleaded guilty to being unlawfully at Andover Medical Centre and damaging a window worth around £200 on February 14, when he appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court last month.
The 28-year-old, of no fixed abode, was given a total of 28 days of imprisonment for these offences and ordered to pay a victim services surcharge of £115.
Strike was also sentenced to an extra 100 days of imprisonment for breaching a previous suspended sentence imposed just six days earlier.
He admitted to breaching this previous suspended sentence, which included three battery offences, two counts of theft, assaulting a police officer and possession of an offensive weapon.
