Michael Sardes, 25, of Tilgate Way, Crawley, spat at an officer and bit another as he was being arrested to prevent a breach of the peace after a disturbance at an address in Tilgate Way on November 30.
He pleaded guilty at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on December 1 to two counts of assaulting an emergency worker, harassment and criminal damage.
Sardes was sentenced to a total of 32 weeks in prison and ordered to pay £130 compensation.
He had previously been handed a suspended sentence earlier this year for four counts of assaulting an emergency worker and common assault in Crawley between June 2022 and March last year.
Investigating officer Tom Webb said: “Michael Sardes made the conscious decision to use violence against emergency workers and now must face the consequences.
“The sentence imposed by the court reflects that the use of his behaviour against police, paramedics and other emergency workers must not, and will not, be accepted.”
