A MAN who headbutted a police officer has been given a suspended jail sentence.
Andrew Woodward, 35, from Perth Avenue in Thatto Heath, initially denied the offence but changed his plea to guilty at a hearing at St Helens Magistrates’ Court.
He was also found guilty of possession of cocaine and to be in breach of a community order imposed in February for motoring offences.
Magistrates handed him a 12 week jail sentence but suspended it for two years and fined him £480.
