• A MAN has been jailed after a string of assaults on emergency workers whilst serving a suspended prison sentence.

James Anthony Lloyd has been sent to prison for 16 weeks after he admitted the offences, which included assaulting a health care professional working at Basingstoke’s custody centre last Saturday (May 8).

He had been arrested a day earlier after being threatening or abusive towards two people in Winchester.

The 33-year-old also resisted PC Neil Parker in the execution of his duties and assaulted PC Sean Davies.

Lloyd, of Christchurch Road in Winchester, had been serving a suspended sentence at the time, after threatening or abusing two people in Winchester in December 2020.

Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court had sentenced him to eight weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, after he was also convicted of walking towards PC Parker with a smashed glass bottle and of assaulting police officer Mohammed Hussain.

After Madden entered guilty pleas at court on Monday, Tony Madden, chair of magistrates, sentenced him to a total of 16 weeks in prison - eight weeks for the most recent charges, with the eight-week activated suspended sentence being served consecutively.

The 33-year-old was given a community order which will require him to attend 20 days of rehabilitation activities in the next 12 months.
