Sunderland man locked up after attacking police officer and flouting court orders

Cain Lebihan is beginning 26 weeks in custody after a court decided that his crimes were “aggravated by the defendant’s record of previous offending”.

Lebihan was handed a seven-week sentence after he was found guilty of assaulting a male police officer in Sunderland on October 31.

He received an additional 11 weeks behind bars after also pleading guilty to two counts of breaching a restraining order on the same date by contacting a named person and entering a named street in the Hill View area of the city.

Lebihan, 20, of no fixed address, was also locked up for eight weeks for committing further offences while still serving a six-month conditional discharge following an earlier breach of the same restraining order.

South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court ordered him to pay the police officer he assaulted £50 compensation by the end of February next year.
