The victim was left with facial injuries.
He was jailed for six months.
Sean Casey
Sean Casey, 36, who grew up in Great Yarmouth, was jailed for two separate assaults on two police officers as well as possessing a Stanley knife.
The first offence came after a domestic dispute with his partner. It was at the scene where Casey struck an officer on the back of the head.
The second instance was a few days after, Casey kicked an officer in the shin after being arrested and was being uncooperative whilst being booked in.
He was jailed for a year.
David Tilley
David Tilley, 38, of Christopher’s Close, Northrepps, was jailed for causing a serious head injury to a pensioner.
The victim, Sally Coutya, collided with Tilley whilst he cycled down the wrong way down a one-way street in Cromer. The courts heard that Tilley remained at the scene to help.
Ms Coutya was treated at the scene and taken to hospital but never fully recovered and died about five months later in September, last year, aged 81.
Tilley was given a nine-month jail sentence suspended for 18 months and was ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work.
Ashley Hammond
Ashley Hammond, 39, of Falklands Drive, Wisbech has been jailed after failing to notify police of his new address as he was a registered sex offender.
In 2017, Hammond was convicted for meeting a girl under the age of 16 following sexual grooming.
Hammond did not tell police of his new address in Gloucester or about his use of an alias name on a games console.
He relocated due to a new relationship, however he admitted he didn’t tell officers as he didn’t want his new girlfriend to be informed of his previous convictions.
He was handed an 18-month prison sentence after also admitting to breaching a suspended sentence for previous charges of the same nature.
