A 47-year-old man has been jailed after spitting at a woman in the presence of a child.

Gavin Lockley, of South Lodge Mews, Midway has been locked up for 38 weeks after he appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court.

He admitted using a car in Mercian Way, Derby, on November 4, without insurance. He also admitted assaulting a woman in Swadlincote on June 1; breaching a restraining order by contacting the woman in Swadlincote on June 1; and breaching the same restraining order by sending text messages on June 3.

Lockley has been jailed for 38 weeks because magistrates heard the assault included spitting, there was a child present, offences were committed while on bail and he was the subject of a community order.

He was also ordered to abide by a restraining order until further notice. He was ordered to pay £100 compensation and a £115 victim surcharge, and has been banned from driving for 11 months.
