A prisoner has been jailed for throwing urine in the face of a prison officer at HMP Woodhill.
Michael Thorpe, aged 22, was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court last Monday.
He pleaded guilty to one count of cause administer poison/noxious thing with intent to injure/aggrieve/annoy.
Thorpe threw a cup of urine in the face of a prison officer at HMP Woodhill, Buckinhamshire, on 2 July last year.
Thorpe then run away from the prison officer and back to his cell.
Investigating officer, PC Gavin Ramdyal of the Investigation Hub based at Milton Keynes, said: “This was an unprovoked attack on a prison officer who was carrying out his day to day duties within the prison system.
“Throwing urine is a disgusting assault and the sentence highlights that this type of behavior in prison will not be tolerated by Thames Valley Police or the courts.”
