A Pentraeth man who spat in the eye of a police officer has been jailed for a year.
Stephen Vickery kicked and punched officers as he tried to resist arrest.
The 40 year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting an emergency worker.
Llandudno magistrates heard Vickery had been wanted on recall for prison when he was detained on 23rd May.
He began acting violently and aggressively as he was being handcuffed.
North Wales Police said one of the officers involved in the assault was undergoing medical assessments as a precaution to determine whether they had suffered any consequences to their health.
Following sentencing on Friday, District Inspector Wayne Francis said: “Whilst today’s court result may offer my colleagues some feeling of justice, the aftermath and worry of such an incident will clearly have a long-term impact on the officers’ lives; both personally and professionally.”
He added: “I simply will not tolerate assaults against our officers, who bravely put themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis; this is a view which is shared by our senior leaders within North Wales Police.”
“The officers involved are being supported by both the organisation and the Police Federation.”
