A SOUTHAMPTON man who assaulted a police officer failed to comply with a community order.

Michael Jonathan Wright failed to attend appointments on June 14 and June 21 last year as part of his community order made by the court on May 15 after he assaulted a police officer in Southampton on 30 August, 2018.

The court heard how the 38-year-old failed to provide a reasonable excuse for missing his appointments.

Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court on April 7, he admitted the breach of his community order.

Wright, of Wills Road, Southampton, was handed a community order.
