A HAMPSHIRE man has been found guilty of assaulting two police officers.

Daniel Philippe Nicholson assaulted the officers in Gosport on October 22 last year.

The 41-year-old denied two counts of assault, but was found guilty during a trial at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court.

Nicholson, of Huntspond Road, Locks Heath, was given a 12 month community order, including 120 hours of unpaid work.

He was also ordered to pay a total of £100 in compensation to the officers.
