Mansfield man assaulted three cops after taking unknown drugs
A Mansfield man who assaulted three police officers after taking an unknown drug couldn’t remember what happened, a court heard.
Archie Davies-Clarke's mum called the police when he began shouting and swearing in the street after taking the drugs, on May 24, said Oreshia Thomas, prosecuting.
He charged towards one officer and shoved him, then kicked out as two other officers took him to the ground.
He pinched the officers' legs and unintentionally spat on one of their faces. He was found in possession of cannabis.
Jim Buckley, mitigating, said Davies-Clarke, of previous good character, was offered drugs by a friend that may have been mamba.
"He behaved in completely irrational way," he said. "He has very little recollection of the incident."
Davies-Clarke, aged 25, of Lake Avenue, Mansfield, admitted three counts of assaulting emergency workers and possession of a class B drug when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court on Thursday.
He received a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work. He must pay £150 compensation and £198 court costs.
