Man in court after attack on police Ritvars Meiers, 43, of Kirton Holme had admitted being drunk and disorderly and two offences of assaulting the police by beating when he appeared at Boston Magistrates Court in May and the case had been adjourned for sentence and report from the Probation Service. Jim Clare, prosecuting, said officers went to the Moon Under Water pub on September 6 after reports staff had been forced to restrain a man who had sworn at staff and was aggressive after being refused a drink. Meiers refused to calm down and so was arrested but when he was placed in a police car, he raised his legs and kicked one of the officers on the forehead as well as missing a further three times. Meiers then aimed a 'forceful headbutt' at the other officer, hitting him on the shoulder and side of his face.
