Man is jailed after spitting at police officer who went on to contract Covid A MAN has been jailed for 10 weeks after spitting at a Dorset Police officer who went on to test positive for Covid a few days later. Steven Licorish s actions were “considered and deliberate” in relation to the assault on PC Joe Terry in Bournemouth in January during lockdown, according to a judge. Judge Jonathan Fuller QC told Licorish, 41 and of Bath Road, Bournemouth, that he could not suspend the prison sentence as this “would not mark the seriousness of the offence”. The judge said while it was accepted that it could not be proved the defendant’s spitting caused PC Terry’s Covid infection, it highlighted the dangers those on the frontline face on a daily basis.
