He was charged with assaulting a police constable and harassing someone, therefore breaching a restraining order imposed by the court.

The reason for the sentence was because he had breached his restraining order and the assault also involved a “shod foot” which means he kicked his victim while defenseless on the ground.

Sangster was also under a suspended sentence at the time of the offence for previous offences.

He pleaded guilty to all charges and was jailed for 24 weeks overall.
