At the town’s magistrates’ court on Thursday (August 18), Romeo Varga (25), of Waveney Road, was sentenced on charges of assault; assaulting two police officers and causing criminal damage to two police vehicles.

He attempted to bite and spit on a police officer and then spat in a vehicle. Officers applied a spit and bite guard and he then headbutted a window repeatedly.

When put in a police cell van he again spat.

Defence barrister Neil Moore said Varga and the woman had been in a relationship and said it was an “abhorrent set of facts”.

Varga was put on Probation for two years.
