His girlfriend was previously handed a six-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months for pushing a police officer and spitting on another
A dad attacked a police officer after his partner was arrested for pushing and spitting at officers at a protest in Nottingham city centre. Kevin Musgrave, 37, admitted grabbing the officer’s arm when his partner Victoria Gray was arrested during the heated confrontation between far-right demonstrators and counter-protesters at Old Market Square on August 3.
Gray was handed a six-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on August 7 for pushing a police officer and spitting on another at the protest. Musgrave admitted during a hearing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court to spitting in a police vehicle. The self-employed roofer was charged with assault by beating of an emergency worker and criminal damage to property valued under £5,000. District Judge Sunil Khanna gave Musgrave, of High Lane East in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, a 12-week sentence suspended for 12 months with 100 unpaid hours of work.Judge Khanna said: “Had you been part of the main group, I would have sent you straight to prison.
They were opposed by counter-demonstrators who grouped together at the Brian Clough statue and had to be separated by a line of Nottinghamshire Police officers. While the event was largely peaceful, especially compared to some of the rioting carried out by far-right protesters in other parts of the country, chants were exchanged and beer bottles were thrown between the crowds.
Police said 15 people were arrested during the protests held in and around Old Market Square, with eight of these people being charged shortly afterwards. However, more arrests have been made in the days following the incident.
