Kevin Searle, who poured a can of cider over a police officer during a protest, was sentenced to 21 months in jail, reflecting the seriousness of the altercation.
Prosecutor Matthew Mortimer explained that Searle was drawn into the protest atmosphere after having consumed alcohol, leading him to engage aggressively with law enforcement.
The incident occurred during a larger protest involving anti-immigration demonstrators and a counter-protest against racism, highlighting the tense climate of the gathering.
The court heard that Searle had intended to break through the police cordon while verbally abusing officers, demonstrating a clear disregard for the law.
