A thug was hauled back before a court for another offence of violence when he was barechested. Shai Linton got in trouble with the law, with his shirt off, in the early hours when he drunkenly punched a stranger and aimed another blow to a man on the floor.
Following the incident in Clumber Street, Mansfield, he was sentenced after pleading guilty to affray on February 4 this year. He received four months in prison, suspended for 12 months, with unpaid work for 80 hours.
But, despite being given a chance, four weeks later Nottingham Crown Court heard a shirtless Linton, who was again drunk, kicked out at a policewoman as she tried to apprehend him following a disturbance near the White Hind bar in Cater Gate, Newark. His kick connected with the officer's chest and she complained of pain to her chest and shoulder.
