At Macclesfield magistrates court, Crouch, of Donagh Close, Upton Priory, admitted three charges of assaulting a police constable in the execution of their duty and two charges of criminal damage.

He was jailed for eight weeks and ordered to pay a total of £425 compensation to the police officers as well as £75 to the car owner.

Court records show the reasons that magistrates jailed Crouch were because they felt the offence ‘serious’ and ‘no other sentence can be justified or viable in the circumstances because the offence was aggravated by the defendant’s record of previous offending’.
