Darren Patrick Driscoll (37) admitted committing a grave and criminal assault on Pc Anthony Forder and resisting arrest following the dispute at the home of the defendant’s partner in Grasett Park in March.
As well as imposing the prison sentence, the court ordered that Driscoll be barred from licensed premises for six months from the time when he is released.
When announcing sentence, the Deputy Bailiff, Michael Birt, underlined the court’s view that anyone convicted of assaulting a police officer faced a prison term.
