Terrifying footage from the incident has been shared by the police
A man who tried to suffocate a Northamptonshire Police officer rushing to a potential gun sighting has been jailed for two-and-a-half-years. The incident occurred on June 28, 2022 when Northamptonshire Police were informed that a man was in the Swansgate car park area of Wellingborough with what looked like a gun slip - a bag designed to carry a long-barrelled firearm.
Hallam continued his onslaught until Sgt Cayton’s colleagues arrived and pointed a taser at the 58-year-old. This led Hallam to release Sgt Cayton, who arrested him despite being injured and breathless. Speaking afterwards, investigating officer Detective Constable Neil Carr, of the Force’s CID North, said: “What Max Hallam put Sgt Cayton through is horrendous – the body-worn video of the incident graphically illustrates the level of force involved and the prolonged period Hallam was suffocating him for.
Following Hallam’s sentencing Northamptonshire Police has released Sgt Cayton’s body-worn video, in which Hallam can be heard threatening "I can ******* kill you" as the officer’s breathing becomes increasingly strained. Chief Constable Nick Adderley said: “The protection of my officers is a cornerstone of my role, and I’m really pleased Hallam has been given a substantial prison sentence for his attack on Sgt Cayton.
