A HMP Peterborough inmate who threw a bucket full of human waste at a guard has had 18 months added to his sentence.

Jacob O’Dell, 24, was serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence at HMP Peterborough when he launched the vile attack in December last year.

O’Dell armed himself with the bucket, which contained a mixture of urine and faeces, and hurled its content towards the guard.

The attack, which is commonly referred to as “potting”, left the victim covered in faeces, despite her attempts to shield herself.

When interviewed, O’Dell claimed he was pressured into committing the offence by another inmate. 

He later admitted charges of administering a noxious substance with intent to injure.

O’Dell was jailed for an additional 18 months on Monday (2 November) at Cambridge Crown Court.

DC Zoe Slater, from Cambridgeshire Constabulary, said: 

“This was a disgusting, unprovoked attack that nobody should have to endure.

“Prison staff work hard to ensure the safety of inmates and should be able to do so without fear of being attacked.”

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
