'SAN Miguel and the sun' spurred a Newtown man to kick a police officer in the chest after he was seen “going mad” at officers and local residents.
Sean Gareth Jones was initially seen by police “walking in a determined manner” with no shoes on towards the Maesyrhandir area of Newtown on the evening of April 22.
Jones became abusive and aggressive towards officers and was seen shouting at a woman over a garden fence during the incident before he was arrested, kicking PC Bufton in the chest as he was being put in a police van.
Welshpool Magistrates Court heard on Tuesday, May 11, that the 29-year-old couldn’t remember the incident or how he got cuts on his arms, legs and back.
