WING mirrors were deliberately damaged and a police officer attacked by a Hereford man.

Jack David Smalley entered a guilty plea when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster.

The court heard Smalley had deliberately damaged the wing mirrors of three people's cars, a large mirror, and a fan on August 15.

The 24-year-old also assaulted a police officer by beating, and using threatening and abusive words and behaviour towards another police officer on August 16, and admitted breaching the teams of a conditional discharge order.

Magistrates said the offence was serious as the offences were committed while Smalley was subject to previous orders and handed him a 24-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Smalley, of Marlbrook Road, Hereford, was ordered to pay each of the car owners compensation of £200, £50 to the owner of the mirror and fan, £75 to the officer he assaulted, and £100 to the other officer.

He must also pay costs of £100 and a £128 victim surcharge.
