A man who spat at police and threatened to punch an officer during protests in Plymouth has been jailed for 26 months.
Daniel McGuire, 45, of Crescent Avenue, Plymouth, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of violent disorder relating to the incident on Monday.
Judge Robert Linford, sentencing McGuire at Plymouth Crown Court on Thursday, said the defendant had been drunk and returned after police asked him to leave.
He said McGuire was “seen to repeatedly spit at the police” and video footage showed him “swearing and threatening to punch the police”.
Feleena Grosvenor, for McGuire, said that the defendant was “sorry for spitting and he was so ashamed during his interview he could barely watch the video”.
She said he had sustained a broken arm.
