A 40-year old man who launched an “unprovoked and vicious” assault on an Asda security guard was handed a four-year sentence today (Tuesday).
David Robert Thompson’s crime spree began when he stole items from a staff room at the Ulster Hospital and ended when he attacked the security guard after breaking into a nearby Asda store and stealing a quantity of meat.
He was handed a four-year sentence which was divided equally between prison and licence by Judge Geoffrey Miller KC.
